Question

Last year the French club raised $300 at their fall fundraiser. This year they raised $450. What is the percent increase in the amount raised?

(IN YOUR OWN WORD'S)

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

Actual increase = $150

% increase = (actual change ÷ start value) × 100

= (150 ÷ 300) × 100

= 0.5 × 100

= 50%
