Question

the price of an item has risen to $184 today. Yesterday it was $115. Find the percentage increase.

Answer 1

Let's start by finding how many dollars the item's price increased:

184 - 115 = 69

Now we divide that amount by the original cost:

69 ÷ 115 =

0.6

----------

115|69.0

-690

----------

0

Now converting that to a percentage is to move the decimal two places to the right and placing the percentage sign:

0.6 = 60%
