Question

Contact 'A' is worth $350 and contract 'B' is worth $50. How much more is contract 'A' worth, shown as a percentage?

Answer 1

The larger contract is $300 more than the smaller one ($50).

 

The amount by which the larger is greater than the smaller is a factor of 6, or 600% larger than the $50.

 

The larger contract is, of course, worth 7 times the smaller contract.

Answer 2

*Edit*

Hey Mary,

 

So Contract A is worth $350, Contract B is worth $50.

In order to see how much more Contract A is worth as percentage, you divide: (contract A price - Contract B Price)/(contract B) price and multiply by 100%.

Therefore:

($300/$50) * 100% = 600%
