  1. First get the difference between the 2008 price and 1990 which is $4.02-$1.37= $2.65. Then the difference you've got which is $2.65, divide it to the current market price which is $4.02 to get the how many percentage it increased since then, $2.65/$4.02= 0.65920398 then multiply it to 100. It would be 65.92 or 66% if rounded off to whole number.

  2. The decrease is 35c

    Q= X/100 of $1.37 = 0.35

    1.37x/100 = 0.35

    1.37x = 35 then divide each side by 1.37

    Result is 25.5474453 percent, round up to nearest tenth.
