Question

What is the percent of increase from
19 to 27, to the nearest percent?

Answer 1

42% increase

Explanation:

There are two steps to finding the percent increase.

First, we must find the difference of the final and initial number, which gives us the increase.

Therefore, we have 27 - 19 = 8.

Second, we must find quotient of the increase and initial number and multiply by 100.

(8 / 19) * 100 = 42%.

Answer 2

42.105

Explanation:

A change from 19 to 27 represents a positive change (increase) of 42.1052631579%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent change = New - Old

|Old|

× 100%

Percent change = 27 - 19

|19|

× 100% =

8

19

× 100 = 42.1052631579% (increase)

Where: 19 is the old value and 27 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 42.1052631579 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.
