Question

A warehouse received 250 orders in april, and 300 orders in may. what was the percentage of increase in orders from april to may?

Answer 1

Orders received in April = 250
Orders received in May = 300
difference between them = 300 - 250 = 50
to find the percentage increase we use this formula:
Percentage increase = Difference between both numbers or quantities / original number x 100
= 50/250 x 100
= 0.2 x 100
= 20%
so, the percentage increase is 20%.
