Question

What is the percent increase of 36 and 63

Answer 1

well, 63 - 36 is 27.

so, if we take 36 to be the 100%, what is 27 in percentage off of it?


`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 36&100\\ 27&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{36}{27}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{27\cdot 100}{36}`
