176 rounds up to 180
17 rounds up to 20
The fact we're rounding up both times means we'll have an overestimate
estimate = 180*20 = 3600
actual result = 176*17 = 2992
Answer: The approximate percent increase is 121.42857%. This is a rounded value. To get this, first you would need to find out which increased and in what direction. Of course, the 70 turned into an 85. So you can divide 85 by 70 and receive a number. Then in whatever form you found it, decimal, fraction, or even percent straight away, ensure the value is a percentage.
70 -> 85
85/70
About 1.21 [decimal]
1.21 x 100 = 121 [add the %]
121% [rounded]
1/6 is larger. Say you have a pizza, if you had 7 pieces of pizza, they would be smaller than 6 slices of pizza.
