Question

From 76 to 95 what is the percent increase

Answer 1

well, from 76 to 95 is just 95 - 76 = 19 units of difference.

if we take the 76 to be the 100%, what is 19 off of it in percentage?

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 76&100\\ 19&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{76}{19}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 4=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x = \cfrac{100}{4}\implies x = 25`

Answer 2

25

Explanation:

A change from 76 to 95 represents a positive change (increase) of 25%

Percent change = [(New - Old ) / |Old|] x 100%

Percent change = [(95 - 76) / |76|] x 100 = [(19) / 76] x 100 = 25 % (increase)

Where: 76 is the old value and 95 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 25 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.
