-14.3% is a decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase/decrease:

1. Subtract the original value from the new value.

2. Divide by the original value.

3. Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert to a percent.

12 - 14 = - 2

-2/14 = - 0.1428

-0.1428*100 = - 14.28% rounds to - 14.3%
