Question

you need 4 teaspoons of cinnamon to make a cake if you up the recipe and use 6 teaspoons of cinnamon what percent increase does this represent?

Answer 1

going from 4 tsp to 60 tsp is an increase of 50%

Explanation:

`(new - old)/(old) * 100`

`(6 - 4)/(4) * 100 = \\ (2)/(4) * 100 = (1)/(2) * 100 = (100)/(2) = 50`
