Question

n 2000, the circulation of a local newspaper was 3,250. In 2001, its circulation was 3,640. In 2002, the circulation was 4,100. a. Find the percent of increase in the newspaper’s circulation from 2000 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2002. b. Which period had a higher percent of increase, 2000 to 2001, or 2001 to 2002?

Answer 1

2000 ... 3250
2001 ... 3640
2002 ... 4100
The increase from 2000 to 2001
is 3640-3250=390
the percentage increase is given by the increase divided by the original value times 100
So in this case,
percentage increase from 2000 to 2001 is [390/3250]x100=12%
repeating the same method for 2001 to 2002 gives 12.6%
So 2001 to 2002 has the higher percentage increase in circulation
