Question

A company’s stock was selling at $25 a share a month later it was selling at $30 a share what is the percent increase

Answer 1

20% increase

Explanation:

To find the percent increase, you can divide the increase value by the original: 30/25 = 1.2 --> 120%. Next, since they ask for the percent of increase, you can subtract 1 or 100% from your answer which would give you a final answer of 20% increase.
