Answer:

Percent increase is 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price was $110. That will go on the bottom (denominator) in our calculation. On the top (numerator) we put the change in the dollar amount. The new price is $187. So we'll subtract:

187 - 110

= 77

The change in price was $77.

change/original

= 77/110

= 0.7

Change the decimal answer to a percent by multiplying by 100.

0.7 × 100

= 70%

The percent increase is 70%.
