That's a tough one. Me, personally, I don't really know how to calculate the oercentage increase from NaN% to NaN%. I'm stumped.

If a gallon of gas cost $3.65. then it increased to $3.74, what was the percent increase?


(New - Original)/Original x 100 = percent change.


(374-3.65)/3.65 x 100 =


09/3.65 x 100 = about 2.47% increase.

Did you just make these numbers up? They aren't with the original problem statement.

Yes, that was the point. There was no info with the original problem statement, so I made up an example showing how to calculate the percent increase.
