The volume of industrial production increased ten times. What was the increase in percents?

Question

This is a hard math problem.

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

Increasing ten times means that you are scaling by

10 x 100% = 1000%, so the new value will be 1000% of the original value

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Whenever we talk about percent, we mean multiples of 100. In fact, the word "percent" is derived from a Latin expression that means "by 100".

 

In this case, it is given that a base of 100% was increased 10 times.

 

So, the percent increase is 100% x 10 = 1000%
