a)
Game 1 = 180

Game 2 = 200

Increase = 200 - 180 = 20

% Increase : Mind you the baseline for division or reference is the 180 and not the 200. The first one between the two numbers is the reference.

So % Increase = (20 / 180) * 100%

   = (1/9) * 100% = 11.11%

   Increase = 11.11%

b)
Game 2 = 200

Game 3 = 180

Decrease = 200 - 180 = 20

% Decrease : Mind you the baseline for division or reference is the 200 and not the 180. The first one between the two numbers is the reference.

So % Increase = (20 / 200) * 100%

   = (1/10) * 100% = 10%

   Decrease = 10%
