Question

a store sold 14.00 dollars worth of gift cards in october. the next month the goal was to sell $15.96 worth of gift points. this is an increase of ___percent

Answer 1

This would be 14% because as decimal it's 0.14 which is 14 hundredths.

Answer 2

Subtract 14 from 15.96 to find the increase.
15.96 - 14 = 1.96
Divide 1.96 by 14.
1.96 / 14 = 0.14
In percents that is 14%.
This is an increase of 14%.
Hope this helps!
