Molly had $135 in her savings account in September. She added $25 to the account in October, earned $0.27 in interest, and did not withdraw any money from the account. By what percent did the amount of money in her account change? **STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION PLEASE AND THANK YOU!** REMINDER: THIS IS PERCENT OF INCREASE OR DECREASE:)

Answer 1

19.59 %

Explanation:

ask what percent of 135$ will equal to 25$ to determine by how much it changed.

x% of 135 = 25$

x / 100 × 135 = 25%

x = 18.51851851851851 %

now ask what percent of 25$ results in a 0.27$ interest

x% of 25$ = 0.27$

x = 1.08 %

lastly add the total change in percentage to analyze the over all account change.
