A brand of cereal had 1.2 milligrams of iron per serving. Then they changed their recipe so they had 1.8 mg of iron per serving.

Answer 1

Using it's concept, it is found that the percent increase in the amount of iron per serving was of 50%.

What is the percentage increase of a value?

It is given by the increase divided by the initial value, and subtracted by 100%.

In this problem:

• The initial value is of 1.2 mg.

• The increase was of 1.8 mg - 1.2 mg = 0.6 mg.

Hence the percent increase is given by:

P = 0.6/1.2 x 100% = 50%.
