Question

3. Your fuel expense for last year was $800.00. This year it was $960.00. What was your percent of increase? A. 20% B. 18% C. 23% D. 15%

Answer 1

We need to see what percent 960 is of 800.
960/800
1.2
Now multiply it by 100.
1.2•100
120%
Now, the 100 just tells you it’s increasing.
So the percent increase is A. 20%
