Question

What is the percent increase from 12 to 60

Answer 1

400% is the answer. :)

Answer 2

Answer: 400%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the 2 numbers which in this case is 60 - 12 or 48. The original number is 12.

So we have 48/12 which is 4.

Finally, remember that we want the percent increase.

So we need to write 4 as a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right to get 400%. So when a number changes from 12 to 60, there's a 400% increase.
