by (..)% of the (proportional) change in the index
If the index changed from say 200 to 230 (i.e. 15% proportional increase) then the rent adjustment would be 15 x .666 or (as near as dammit) 10% of the previous rent payable.
I recommend "proportional" because "percentage" could be confusing - the index is expressed in % but it's the *relative* change we are interested in.
