Answer:
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
10% = 10/100 = 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
Increase the number by 10% of its value.
Percentage increase = 10% × 2,880
New value =
2,880 + Percentage increase =
2,880 + (10% × 2,880) =
2,880 + 10% × 2,880 =
(1 + 10%) × 2,880 =
(100% + 10%) × 2,880 =
110% × 2,880 =
110 ÷ 100 × 2,880 =
110 × 2,880 ÷ 100 =
316,800 ÷ 100 =
3,168
Calculate absolute change (actual difference)
Absolute change (actual difference) =
New value - 2,880 =
3,168 - 2,880 =
288
