Question

Identify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease. Then find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary: 120 pounds to 180 pounds

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

We need to find the percent change from 120 pounds to 180 pounds. We can find it as follows :

`\%=(180-120)/(120)* 100\\\\=(60)/(120)* 100\\\\=50\%`

So, the percent change is equal to 50%.
