Question

Robin paid a $120 a month on a credit card. She was late on a payment so her monthly bill was raised to $150 a month. which of these shows how Robin can calculate the percent increase she was charged

Answer 1

Answer: One way to calculate the percent increase in Robin's monthly bill is to use the following formula:

% increase = (new amount - original amount) / original amount x 100

In this case, the original amount is $120 and the new amount is $150. So, the calculation would be:

% increase = (150 - 120) / 120 x 100 = 30 / 120 x 100 = 0.25 x 100 = 25

Therefore, the percent increase in Robin's monthly bill is 25%.

Another way to calculate the percent increase is to use the formula:

(New amount - original amount) / original amount

In this case: (150-120)/120 = 0.25, and multiply by 100 to get 25%

So, both formula gives the same answer 25%
