Question

On Monday, the high was 60 degrees Fahrenheit. On Tuesday, the high was 18% more. How much did the high increase from Monday to Tuesday?

Answer 1

60 * 0.18 = 10.8

Temperature increased by 10.8 degrees

Answer 2

Temperature on Monday = 60 degree Fahrenheit

On Tuesday increase in temperature = 18% =
`(18)/(100)` = 0.18

Increase in temperature = 60 * 0.18 = 10.8 degree Fahrenheit

Temperature on Tuesday = 60 + 10.8 = 70.8 degree Fahrenheit

Temperature increase from Monday to Tuesday = Temperature on Tuesday - Temperature on Monday

Temperature increase from Monday to Tuesday = 70.8 - 60 = 10.8 degree Fahrenheit
