Question

holly's business made $80,000 last year. this year she made $90,000. what is the percentage change? (round your answer to the nearest percent)

Answer 1

The difference between the amount in both years is

90000 - 80000 = $10000

Percentage is expressed in terms of 100

The percentage change would be

change/initial amount * 100

Percentage change = 10000/80000 * 100 = 12.5%

Rounding up to the nearest percent, it becomes 13%a
