What is the percent of change from 15 yards to 18 yards

Question

I really need the answer to this problem as quick as possible to pass all my classes boo 

Answer 1

Percent change from 15 to 18.

 

You need to divide the numbers, but which one goes on top?

 

You know the number increases from 15 to 18, so the percentage must be greater than 100%.

 

The only way to get a number greater than 100% is to put the larger number on top.

 

Therefore, the answer is 18/15 = 1.2

 

Multiply by 100 to get a %

 

1.2 * 100 = 120%
