68 rounded to the nearest tenth equals 70

Answer 2

the percent of increase is 11.8%

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three

if the prize tito paid is 100%, how many percent is $76?

if

$68.00 ⇒100%

$76.00 ⇒x%?

`(68)/(100)=(76)/(x)`

isolating x

`(68)/(100)=(76)/(x)\\ \\(x*68)/(100)=76\\\x=(76*100)/(68) \\\\x=(7600)/(68) \\x=111.76`

so, $76.00 is 111.76 % of $68

the percent of increase will be the difference

111.76%-100%=11.76%=11.8%

the percent of increase is 11.8%

I hope it helps , Have a great day
