Question

Tanya’s swim club increased their $29 membership fee by $6 a year. What is the approximate percent increase in the membership fee?

Answer 1

6 is what % of 29
6  =  n% x 29
  6   =. 29n
.29     .29

n ≈ 20.7 %

or  simply 6/29 ≈.207 = 20.7%

When you express it as a English sentence and then a math sentence (the first way I did it), it make a lot of sense.
