Question

The value of an autographed baseball card increased from $39 to $65 what is the percent increase in value of the baseball card?

Answer 1

66.7%

Explanation:

the value increased by 26

percentage increase =increase /initial value ×100

=26/39×100=66.7%

Answer 2

:

The percent increase is found by finding the difference between the two prices and then dividing that different by the beginning price.

For this example it would be 65-39= $26. So $26/$39(the starting price) is 0.666... This is equivalent to about 66.67%. So, the price of the card increased by about 66.67%
