Answer:

15%

Explanation:

IF 100 percent is 180 dollars then dividing 180 by 100 will tell us what is 1 percent of 180

which is 1.8

Now knowing this we find the difference from 189 to 207 which is 207 minus 189

=27 dollars increase

FROM thier we divide 1.8 by 27 to see how much 27 dollars is of 180, thefore finding the percent increase of the table.

27/1.8 = 15

----

SO there was a 15 percent increase
