Question

40 facts increased to 56. What is the percent increase?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

40 increases to 56.

To find the percent increase:

Subtract the increased value from the original value.

Divide the difference by the original value.

Multiply the quotient by 100 to represent the percent.

Solve:

$56 - 40 = 16$

$16 \div 40 = 0.4$

$0.4 \times 100 = 40$

There's a 40% increase.
