Percent over previous...

[MOMMAD]

I would like to find out how to calculate the percent of profit from a financial statement as it applies to the prevoius year. I will clarify further: June 2009 statement is 2% gross profit and June 2008 statement is -3% gross profit. How many percent more is the June 2009 statement than the June 2008? Can it be 5%? (why does that seem too obviuos?)

Is this the EXACT statement of problem?

In that case, I do not understand it.
