Question

The percent change of 15 yards to 18 yards

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

percent of change = amount of change/original amount

First, subtract (to get the amount of change) 18 - 15 = 3

Plug numbers in according to the formula above 3/15

Simplify 1/5

1/5 x 100 = 100/5

Divide: 20

The answer is 20%

Answer 2

First we subtract it:

18 - 15 = 3

Now we divide it to the original:

3 / 15 = 0.2

Multiply by 100:

0.2 * 100 = 20%
