Question

A warehouse received 300 orders in April, and 390 orders in May. What was the percentage of increase in orders from April to May?

Answer 1

The percent increase from April to May is 30%.

In order to find this we must use the percent change formula. It is listed below.

(New - Old)/Old *100 = Percent Change

Now we can plug in known values to determine the percent change.

(390 - 300)/300 * 100 = Percent Change

90/300 * 100 = Percent Change

.30 * 100 = Percent Change

30% = Percent Change
