Question

The price of a pair of shoes increase from $65 to $68 What is the percent increase to the nearest percent ​

Answer 1

4.61% increase (round up as needed)

Explanation:

Subtract the smaller amount from the larger to find the dollar difference

`68-65=3`

Then divide the difference by the original amount

`3/65=0.0461`

Move the decimal point over two spaces (multiply by 100) to get your percentage

0.0461=4.61%

Round up as needed.
