Question

the price of a small pizza increased from$6 to $8.
what is the percent of increase in the cost of pizza? round to the nearest percent, if necessary.

Answer 1

What is the difference between 6 and 8? Or, what is the increase in price.

Now that you have the increase in price, what percentage of the original cost is this new increase?

percentage increase = \[\frac{ Difference }{ Original} x 100\]

Answer 2

so...33%

Answer 3

Why?

Answer 4

idk, this is hard

Answer 5

:(

Answer 6

Well, what is the difference and the original?

Answer 7

3/4

Answer 8

Remember the word "difference" being used with subtraction? So the difference of $6 and $8 is $2.

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

2%

Answer 11

???

Answer 12

is it?

Answer 13

look at what @malical type it is all you need
difference is 2 and original is 8
Try putting these numbers into the formula there :)

Answer 14

ummm ok

Answer 15

Difference = Final answer - original.
Obviously the original = original.

For your problem, the final answer was 8 and the original was 6.

Difference = 8-6 or 2.
Original = 6.

Sub those two into the equation and find your answer.

Answer 16

4 right?

Answer 17

no please try again...

Answer 18

gosh

Answer 19

Did you even bother to look at the equation I gave you?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

Do you understand what the formula does?

Answer 22

nope

Answer 23

25%/100

Answer 24

????

Answer 25

The formula takes how much the price increases and figures out what percentage that increase is of the original:

If price goes from 15->22 then the increase would be 7.

7/12 = .46666 or 46%.

Therefore, going from 15->22 is a 46% increase. Another idea is to figure out what 22/15 is. That would give you what percentage above AND including 15 is. (146%) taking out the 100% or 1 remains 46%.

Answer 26

yea its correct

Answer 27

46% is not an answer
A. 2%
B.33%
C.40%
D.67%

Answer 28

14% was an example of the question... If price goes from 15->22 then the increase would be 7.
