Question

What is the percent of increase from 40.2 to 98.9?

Answer 1

Answer:

146%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase/decrease:

1. Subtract the original value from the new value.

2. Divide by the original value.

3. Multiply the decimal by 100 to convert to a percent.

98.9 - 40.2 = 58.7

58.7/40.2 = 1.46

1.46*100 = 146%
