Keep the original value as the reference whole. Percent change is measured against where the quantity started, not where it ended.
Use a mix of increase and decrease only after students can state the direction from the two values without calculation.
Extended mode may include increases above 100%; decreases stay below 100% so the generated end value remains nonnegative and meaningful.

Frequently asked questions
Are both increases and decreases included?
Yes. When the selected rate set allows it, sheets mix exact increases and decreases.
Can an increase be above 100%?
Yes in Extended or a custom range. Decrease problems remain below 100%.
Are the start and end values exact?
Yes. The change amount is constructed as an exact percentage of the starting value.
Can I generate another version at the same difficulty?
Yes. New problems changes only the seed while preserving the other settings.
