I disagree with 64%.

directrix · Answer

[(12.50 - 8)/8 ] times 100 = 56.25 %  --> it does seem too high.

anonymous · Answer

what do you think it is?

anonymous · Answer

you have to...8/12.5 to find the percent difference then u get 64%

directrix · Answer

8 + .5625(8)= $12.50. So, 56.25% is correct.
