Question

Identify the % of change as an increase or decrease.

Then, find the % of change.

Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

$21.40 to $24.61

1. Is this a % Increase OR % Decrease

2. What is the % of change

Answer 1

It is a percent increase and it increased by 15%

I got this answer by doing 24.61/21.40 which equals 1.15

You can check this answer by doing 21.40 * .15 on a calculator and when you do this you get 3.21 which you can then add back to 21.40 to get $24.61
