Question

The number of people signed up for a bus trip increased from 32 to 45. What is the percent increase? Round to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage increase: First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

45-32 = 13 / 32 *100= 40.625 round to the nearest percent is 41%
