Question

Darby bought a rare baseball card for $2,000. Three years later, the value of the card had increased 35% of its original value. By how much did the value of Darby’s baseball card increase?

$___

Answer 1

Answer: 700 dollars

================================================

Work Shown:

35% = 35/100 = 0.35

35% of 2000 = 0.35*2000 = 700

Since the card increased by 700 dollars, this means the card is now worth 2000+700 = 2700 dollars.
