Question

Last month I had 8 guppies. This month I have 20 guppies. What is the percent of increase in guppies from last month to this month?

Answer 1

Answer: 150% increase

Explanation:

percent of increase: new/old × 100%-100%

--------------

new/this month: 20 puppies

old/last month: 8 puppies

new/old×100%-100%

=20/8×100%-100%

=2.5×100%-100%

=250% -100%

=150% increase

Hope this helps!! :)
