Question

The price of a share of one stock rose from $12.50 to $50. Find the percent increase.

Answer 1

50-12.50= 37.50

37.50/12.50 x100% =300%

Answer 2

300%

Explanation:

→ Work out the difference between the 2 numbers

$50 - $12.50 = $37.50

→ Divide it by the original

$37.50 ÷ $12.50 = 3

→ Multiply it by a hundred

300%
