Question

The price of a car was increased from $3,600 to $4,500. What was the percent of the increase?

Answer 1

%25

Explanation:

First, we need to find increase amount.

4500 - 3600 = 900

To find the percentage of the increase, we need to divide increase amount by initial car price, and multiply the result by 100.

→ 900 / 3600 = 0.25

→ 0.25 * 100 = 25

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

.25(3,600)=900

3,600+900=4,500
