The amount of $180.00 is what percent greater than $135.00?

Answer 1

First subtract 135 from 180 and you get 45.. this is the amount of change... it represents an increase.  Now to calculate the percent of increase, just divide the amount of change by the original amount of 135.  

You will get the following:  45/135 = .3333 repeating or $33 \frac{1}{3}$% greater.
