Question

Ashley was 98 pounds one year ago. If she now weighs 112 pounds, what is the percent increase in her weight?

Answer 1

B.14.2 because you subtract the 98 to the 112

Answer 2

increased amount / Original amount X 100

Increased amount = 112
Original amount = 98

Percentage increase = 112/98 X 100
= 14.2.
