Answer:
45% increase
Explanation:
The new number (87) is bigger than the original number (60), so this is a percent increase.
To find the percent of change, which in this case is a percent increase, take the change amount and divide by the original, then convert to a percent.
Subtract to find the change.
87 - 60 is 27.
27 is the amount of change.
change/original
= 27/60
= .45
Times by 100 to change to a percent.
.45 × 100
= 45%
