Question

What is the percent increase from 250 to 900?

1. Write the percent change formula for an increase.
Percent Increase =
Amount of Increase
Original Amount
2. Substitute the known quantities for the amount of the increase and the original amount.
Percent Increase =
900 − 250
250
3. Subtract.
Percent Increase =
650
250
4. Express the ratio as a percent:
%

Answer 1

900 - 250 = 650

650 / 250 = 13 / 3 = 2.6 = 260%

Answer 2

260 %

Explanation:

1) Since, the percentage formula is,

`\text{Percent Increase}=\frac{\text{Amount of Increase}}{\text{Original Amount}}`

2) Given,

Original amount = 250,

New amount = 900

So, the amount of increase = New amount - Original amount = 900 - 250 = 650

By substituting the values,

`\text{Percentage increase}=(650)/(250)`

3) Now, for expressing the ratio into percentage we need to multiply by 100,

`(650)/(250)* 100=(65000)/(250)= 260\%`
