Question

40 facts increased to 56. What is the percent increase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

40 increases to 56.

To find the percent increase:

Subtract the increased value from the original value.

Divide the difference by the original value.

Multiply the quotient by 100 to represent the percent.

Solve:

`56 - 40 = 16`

`16 / 40 = 0.4`

`0.4 * 100 = 40`

There's a 40% increase.
