Question

6. A music video website received 5.000

comments on a new song they released
The next day, the artist performed the song
on television and an additional 1500
comments were made on the website. What
was the percent of increase? ​

Answer 1

30%

Explanation:

To be able to calculate the percent of increase between two numbers, you have to divide the increase by the initial number and multiply by 100:

Increase= 1,500

Initial number=5,000

Percent of increase=(1,500/5,000)*100

Percent of increase=0.3*100

Percent of increase=30%

According to this, the answer is that the percent of increase was 30%.
