Question: what is the percentage change in the weighted average discount rate for pensions from 2010 to 2011?
Evidence:
text_6: taking into consideration the factors noted above , our weighted average discount rate for pensions was 5.23% ( 5.23 % ) and 5.84% ( 5.84 % ) , as of december 31 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively .
Program: subtract(5.23, 5.84), divide(#0, 5.84)
