Calculating the Amount of Fare Change

A municipal budget analyst in Chicago is documenting historical transit data. The records show that the standard bus fare rose from 1.50{}1.50 in 1995 to 2.25{}2.25 in 2008. To begin calculating the percent increase for a report, the analyst must first determine the 'amount of change' by subtracting the original fare from the new fare. State the specific mathematical operation used to find this value and provide the numerical result for this scenario.
