Annual student fees at a university rose from about $4,000 in 2000 to about $17,000 in 2014. Find the percent increase.

Answer 1

Hey! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, the percent increase formula yields the following

Percent Increase = [(New - Original) / Original ] * 100

Then, we plug everything in to obtain the percent increase such that

Percent Increase = [(17000 - 4000) / 4000] * 100 = [13000 / 4000] * 100 = 3.25*100 = 325%

I hope this helped!
