Question

Tessa bought stock in a restaurant for $111.00. Her stock is now worth $147.63. What is the percentage increase of the value of Tessa's stock?

Answer 1

Percent increase : (new number - original number) / original number....* 100
                           = (147.63 - 111) / 111....* 100
                           = 36.63 / 111....* 100
                           = 0.33 * 100
                           = 33% increase <===
