Your percentage change calculations are incorrect.

It appears you're using
	(new-old)/new * 100
instead of:
	(new-old)/old * 100

A change of  660 to 2085 is an increase of 216%, not 68%.
A change of 1976 to 2659 is an increase of 35%,  not 25%.

A change of  365 to 142 is an decrease of 61%, not 157%.
A change of 1827 to 276 is an decrease of 85%, not 561%.
