Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter. Now she has 24,575 dogs. The rate of change is 391.5 % increase

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter

Now she has 24,575 dogs

To find: rate of change

A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity

<h3><u>Steps to follow:</u></h3>

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number.

Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% change = Increase ÷ Original Number x 100

$\text {rate of change }=\frac{\text { new value }-\text {original value}}{\text {original value}} \times 100$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { rate of change }=\frac{24,575-5000}{5000} \times 100} \\\\ {\text { rate of change }=\frac{19575}{5000} \times 100=391.5}\end{array}$
