Question

Craig likes to collect vinyl records. Last year he had 10 records in his collection. Now he has 12 records. What is the percent increase of his collection.
Please answer with explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Craig's collection increased by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original amount: 10

New amount: 12

To find the percent increase, we first need to find how much Craig's record collection increased by. To do this, subtract the old amount from the new amount:

12 - 10 = 2

The amount his collection increased by is 2. To find the per cent increase, divide 2 by the original amount of records:

$\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}= 0.20$

Convert the decimal into a percentage:

0.20 * 100 = 20%

The percent increase of Craig's record collection is 20%.
