Question

An amount was increased from 40 to 46. Work out the percentage increase.

Answer 1

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

A change from 40 to 46 represents a positive change (increase) of 15%

Use the formula found below on this webpage to find the percent change by replacing the given values:

Percent change = $\frac{new-old}{|old|}$ × 100%

Percent change = $\frac{46-40}{|40|}$ × 100% =

$\frac{6}{40}$ × $100=15%$% (increase)

Where: 40 is the old value and 46 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 15 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.

Answer 2

Answer: 40 is the old value and 46 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 15 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.
