Question

Tessa bought stock in a reastraunt for $192.00.Her stock is now $282.24.What is her percent increase?

Answer 1

Her percent increase is 47%

282.24 / 192.00 = 1.47

1.47 = 147%

Take the difference from 100% because you were already at 100%, the difference is 47%.

Answer 2

divide the 282.24 by 192

282.24/192 = 1.47, take the decimal ( .47 ) multiply by 100 for percent = 47%

double check 192*.47 = 90.24, 192 + 90.24 = 282.24
