**Type of Change:** Decrease

**Percent of Decrease:** 6.3%

**Calculation Details:**

1. **Determine the Change:**
   $$
   \text{Change} = \text{New} - \text{Original} = 150 - 160 = -10
   $$
   A negative change indicates a **decrease**.

2. **Calculate the Percent Change:**
   $$
   \text{Percent Change} = \left( \frac{|\text{Change}|}{\text{Original}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{10}{160} \right) \times 100 = 6.25\%
   $$
   
3. **Round to the Nearest Tenth:**
   $$
   6.25\% \approx 6.3\%
   $$

**Final Answer:** $$ v = $$ **Decrease of 6.3%**
**Type of Change:** Decrease **Percent of Decrease:** 6.3%
