Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change = (Change/Original)  

For Week 2 the % change is [(13.5-14)/14]*100%

For week 3 the % change is [(13.1-13.5)/13.5]*100%

Week Time(s) Change % Change

   1            14  

   2           13.5 -0.5        -3.57%          

   3           13.1 -0.4        -2.96%

The negative value for percent change reflect the drop in time (an improvement, but not a positive number.
