Question

Identify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease. 6 yards to 36 yards. Find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a 500% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, we subtract the original amount from the new amount and then divide by the original amount

The new amount = 36

original amount =6

Percent increase = (new - original)/ original * 100 %

                             = (36-6)/6 = 100%

                             = 30/6 *100%

                             =5 * 100%

                             = 500 %
