here it goes:
change = 5800 - 5000 = 800
% change = ( change/ base) * 100
= ( 800 / 5000) * 100
= 16 %

16%
The equation for the problem is:
5000 * (1 + x) = 5800
Then reduce it by:
1 + x = 5800/5000
1 + x = 1.16
x = .16

original = 5000
new= 5800
change = 800
% change= (change/original)*100
= (800/5000)*100
=16%
