Question

Linnea's company's revenue in 2017 is 36/25 of its revenue in 2016. What is Linnea's company's revenue in 2017 as a percent of its revenue in 2016?

Answer 1

Answer: $144\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Linnea's company's revenue in 2017 is 36/25 of its revenue in 2016,

Let the revenue in 2017 = 36x

And, the revenue in 2016 = 25x

Where x is any number,

$\text{The percentage of revenue in 2017 as a percentage of revenue in } 2016 = \frac{\text{ Revenue in 2017}}{\text{Revenue in 2016}}\times 100$

= $\frac{ 36 x} {25 x}\times 100$

= $\frac{3600}{25}$

= $144\%$

Answer 2

Let the 2016 revenue = x

Let the 2017 revenue = y

36/25 * 100 = the percent relationship

% relationship = 144%

y = 144% x

Answer 144% <<<<
