Question

A taxi company had 12 taxis originally. After expanding the company now has 18 taxis. Is this an increase or decrease? What was the percent change?

Answer 1

Answer:

This is an increase by 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The taxi company has 12 taxis originally, and then got 6 more to get 18. They added, so that is an increase.

18 / 12 = 1.5, so it is a 50% increase.
