Answer:

3,000 is the numerical increase and 15% is the percentage increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's quite easy to see that 3,000 more people were added to 20,000, since 23,000 - 20,000 = 3,000. To find the percentage, simply take 20,000 and divide it by the additional increase number, which is in this case 3,000. 20,000/3,000 = 0.15. Converting decimals to percentages, we take the digits behind the decimal and add the percent sign since 100 is equal to 1 or the whole. So 0.15 = 15%, which is the percent increase.

Answer:

actual amount of increase is 3000

% increase is 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual amount of increase is

23,000-20,000= 3,000

To find the percent increase, take the actual amount of increase and divide by the original amount

3,000/20000=.15

Change to percent

15%

Yes. Half of 2.5 is 1.5; this is the amount he would need for 1 dozen cookies. Multiply 1.5 by 3 will give you 3.5.
