Question

A ​used-boat dealership buys a boat for ​$2800 and then sells it for ​$4000. What is the percent​ increase?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase = increase divided by original number x 100

                           

increase is the difference between the two numbers...

new number - original number.....4000 - 2800 = 1200

percent increase = (1200 / 2800) x 100

                            = 0.42857 (round to .4286) x 100

                             = 42.86 %.....if you need it rounded to the nearest percent, it      would be 43% increase
