Percentage increases!!!

[visualAd]

I have two datasets:

	A  	B   	C   	D   	E   	F   	G   	H   	I   	J   
1	13%	21%	14%	27%	42%	74%	74%	76%	74%	82%
2	4173	3653	4335	7154	9891	10230	11664	19460	22059	23988

Now I want to find the the percentage increase / decrease between the current and previous values (e.g: A & B). Which of the following are correct?

1. Value B (21%) is 8% greater than value A (13%).
   
2. Value B (21%) is 62% greater that value A (13%).
   
3. Value B (3653) is 12% less than value A (4173).
   

Now if I want to compare the percentage increases between the values in dataset 1 and dataset 2 which scenarios do I use for the comparison to be correct from above; 1 and 3 or 2 and 3?

Value B (21%) is 8% greater than value A (13%).

It's not 8% greater, it's 8 units greater (and the units happen to be %), but 62% greater if you are comparing the two. If that makes any sense...

..and for your 3. Statement, Yes the Value B(3653) is 87,5% of the Value A(4173), therefor it 12,5% less then Value A (based on Value A as 100%)
