Answer: 10%

How: you know that 10 percent of 20 is 2 because you divide it by 10. by this you'll know that you are adding an extra 10 percent onto 20 to make it 22.

Answer: A change from 20 to 22 represents a positive change (increase) of 10% Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values: Percent change = New - Old|Old| × 100% Percent change = 22 - 20 |20| × 100% = 2 20 × 100 = 10% (increase)
