Question

Last year Geri’s council tax bill was £1815

This year she has to pay £1906 for her council tax.
Work out the percentage increase in her council tax bill.
Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answer 1

5%

Explanation:

To find the increase, we must do 1906 - 1815 = 91

To find the percentage increase, we need to do 91/1815.

91/1815 to the nearest ten-thousandth is 0.0501

Percent = 100 * decimal

0.0501*100 = 5.01%

Rounded to one decimal place = 5.0 = 5

Hope this helps :)
