Question

Last month sales were £180,000 this month sales reached £196,200. What percentage increase is this?

Answer 1

9%

Explanation:

To find the increased amount, subtract this month sales from the last month sales.

Increased amount = 196200 - 180000

= £ 16,200

Now, find the increased percentage using the formula,

`\boxed{\bf Increased \ percentage = (Increased \ amount)/(Original \ amount)*100}\\\\`

`= (16200)/(180000)*100\\\\= 9\%`
