Question

Find the percent of increase to the nearest whole from 12 to 20

Answer 1

The answer is

`67\%`

Explanation:

To find the percentage increase we use the formula

`Percentage \: change = (change)/(original \: \: quantity) * 100\%`

From the question

The original value = 12

To find the change we subtract the smaller value from the larger one

That's

Change = 20 - 12 = 8

So the percentage increase is

`(8)/(12) * 100 \%\\ = (2)/(3) * 100\% \\ = 66.67\%`

We have the final answer as

`67\%` to the nearest whole number
