Question

The average fine for entering a National Forest Wilderness without a permit increased from

$65 to $78. What rate of increase is this?Skis at a sports store near Snow Summit are on sale for $476. If the original price was $560,
what discount rate does this represent?

Answer 1

Fine increase = 78 - 65 = 13
Increase rate = 13/65 x 100% = 20%

Discounted amount = 560 - 476 = 84
Discount rate = 84 / 560 x 100% = 15%
