Question

An LCO Flat Screen TV at Best Buy increased in price from $900 to $1,200. What was the percent of increase?

Answer 1

(1200-900) /900 = 0.33333
In percentage, 0.33333*100= 33%

Answer 2

The increase in price was $300. The problem is to figure what percentage is 300 to 900.
we can divide the 300 by 900 to get the decimal equivalent of the percentage
300/900=1/3=.333333333
Multiply that by 100 gives you a percentage of 33.33% increase in mark-up
