Question

What percent change from 53 to 68

Answer 1

We will have the following:

First, we find the difference:

`68-53=15`

Now, we calculate what percentage represents 15 if 53 is the 100%, that is:

`x=(15\cdot100)/(53)\Rightarrow x=(1500)/(53)\Rightarrow x\approx28.3`

So, the change was of exactly 1500/53 %, that is approximately 28.3%.
