Question

The temperature in an oven changes from 350 degrees to 362 degree. What is the percent increase in temperature, to the nearest tenth of a percent?

Answer 1

3.4%

Explanation:

Find the percent increase by dividing the difference in the temperatures by the original temperature, then multiplying it by 100:

((362 - 350) / 350) x 100

(12 / 350) x 100

= approximately 3.4

So, the percent increase in temperature was approximately 3.4%
