Question

If there were 300 accidents in 1967 and 380 in 1968, what is the percent increase?

Answer 1

To work out the percentage Increase, first find the difference, then %Increase = difference/ original value × 100%

Here:
Increase = 380 - 300 = 80
% Increase = 80/300 × 100%
= 26.7 %
Hope it helped!

Answer 2

26.67%.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the percent increase in number of accidents from 1967 to 1968.

`\text{Percent increase}=\frac{\text{Final }-\text{ Original}}{\text{Original}}* 100`

`\text{Percent increase}=(380-300)/(300)* 100`

`\text{Percent increase}=(80)/(3)`

`\text{Percent increase}=26.6666\%`

`\text{Percent increase}=26.67\%`

Therefore, the percent increase in number of accidents is 26.67%.
