Question

The price of a coat increased from $78 to $92. What is the price increase percentage?

Answer 1

Answer:

18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent change can be found using the following formula:

$\frac{original-new}{original}*100$

Original represents the initial cost where new represents the new cost.  We multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage:

$\frac{92-78}{78}*100$ = 18%
