In order to determine what percentage of  133 is 85, simply divide 85 by 133.

Solution:

= 85/133

= 0.64

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting  a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

= (0.64)(100)

= 64%

The percent change from 85 to 133 is 64%.
