year 1995 1997 1998 %change(1995-1998)
weight 63kg 67kg 73kg .........

 

Abdul,

Percentage change is the change, written as a percentage of where you started. The starting weight was 63kg and the change in the period from 1995 to 1998 was
73 - 63 = 10kg and hence the percentage change is

 10/63 100 = 15.87%
