Question

The U.S. -based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 148,000 motorcycles this year, up from 133,000 last year. Find the percent of increase in production.

Answer 1

Step by step:

To find the percentage increase you must find the difference between both numbers,
$148000 - 133000 = 15000$
Then divide 15,000 by the original number
$15000 \div 148000 = 0.101$
After just multiply 0.101 by 100
$0.101 \times 100 = 10.1\%$
Hope this helped
