Question

Find the percent increase. From 5 miles to 16 miles?

Answer 1

divide 16/5 because you have 16 out of the normal five

Answer 2

Answer: 220%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the percent increase :-

`\frac{\text{Change in value}}{\text{Previous value}}*100`

Change in distance from 5 miles to 16 miles = 16 miles-5 miles = 11 miles

Previous value = 5 miles

Now, the percent increase will be :_

`(11)/(5)*100=220\%`

Hence, the percent increase from 5 miles to 16 miles = 220%
