36 x 25%
36 x .25
36 x .25 = 9.00
36 - 9.00
36 - 9.00 = $27
C. $27.00
Given:
Original or base : 40
New amount : 72
We need to find the difference of the new amount and the original amount
72 - 40 = 32
We then divide the difference by the original amount
32/40 = 0.80
We multiply the quotient by 100%
0.80 x 100% = 80%
The percentage of change is 80%
Simply substitute the value of
3
given. In other words,
f
(
3
)
is the function of
f
(
x
)
, however, in this case,
x
is
3
f
(
3
)
=
