Question

Mrs. Mask looked at another hotel. She waited a week before she decided to book nights at that hotel, and now the prices have increased. The original price was $1195. The price for the same room and a same number of nights is now $2075. What is the percent increase? Round to the nearest whole percent. Explain and Show your work

Answer 1

percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
= (2075 - 1195) / (1195)...* 100
= (880 / 1195) * 100
= 0.736 * 100
= 73.6 rounds to 74% <==
