Answer 1

To calculate the rate of change (decrease or increase), use the formula [(final value - initial value)/initial value] *100.

Carrie searches online for airline tickets. Two weeks ago, the cost of a flight from Hartford to Denver was $210; now it's $350.

What is the percentage increase?

[(350-210)/210]*100=66.6666=67%

What would be the percentage increase if the airline charged $50 in additional baggage fees with the new ticket price?

new ticket price: $350

additional baggage fees:$50

total price: $400

% increase over old price :

[(400-210)/210]*100=90.476..=90.5%
