Question

10 gallons to 24 gallons
Percent of change

Answer 1

It has increased by 140 percent.

Answer 2

We have to find the percent of change :

10 gallons to 24 gallons.

Original amount = 10 gallons

Final amount= 24 gallons.

Change in amount = 24 - 10 = 14 gallons.

then;

`\text{Percent change} = \frac{\text{change in amount}}{\text{Original number}} * 100`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{Percent change} = (14)/(10) * 100`

Simplify:

`\text{Percent change} = 140\%`

Therefore, percent of change is, 140%
