Question

6) A new container of laundry detergent now holds 64 ounces. The old version held 50 ounces. Find the percent increase of the new container.

Answer 1

Percentage change = New - old / old x 100%

The new container can hold 64 ounces

The old container can hold 50 ounces

Change in percentage = 64 - 50 / 50 x 100%

64 - 50= 14

= 14/50 x 100%

= 0.28 x 100%

Percentage increase = 28%

The ansawer is 28%
