Question

Gas station X charges $4.00 per gallon of gas. Gas station Y charges $4.12 per gallon of gas. What is the percent increase from gas station X to gas station

Answer 1

First, find the increase in charge between the two station. That is:

$4.12-$4.00=$0.12

Then, divide the increase by the price charged by Gas Station X.

$0.12/$4.00=0.03

Lastly, since it is a decimal, transform it to percentage by multiplying 100%

0.03x100%=3%

Hope this is the brainliest answer.
