what is the question
What is the percent of increase from 50 to 90? 40% 44% 56% 80%
40%
i gave you a medal and i became a fan thanks for your help
deez nuts
What is the percent of decrease from 110 to 77? 30% 33% 43% 70%
The answer to the first question is not 40%.
hope this helps you realy only had to find the difference between 50and 90
There is a formula for percent increase and percent decrease.
whats the first then?
Percent increase and percent decrease are NOT the difference in numbers.
Here is an example for you to understand the idea. Let's say you start with 200. Then it increases to 300. What is the percent increase from 200 to 300?
100 is the diff idk what your asking me
The increase (not percent increase, but just increase) from 200 to 300 is 100, correct?
yass
Correct. The difference, which is just the increase, is 100. To find the percent increase, you need to find what percent 100 is of the original number, 200. Since 100 is half of 200, 10 is 50% of 200. That means from 200 to 300 it's a 50% increase. That means that you increased 200 by 50% of 200 to get 300.
ok so 300 right ?
Here is the way to find a percent increase or decrease in general: \(percent ~change = \dfrac{new ~number - old ~number}{old ~number} \times 100\)
stop making her beg for the awnser mane
just tell her
btw i just started im 8
whats the answer
idk use mathpapa
Here's how you use the formula. An increase from 200 to 300 means that the old number is 200 and the new number is 300. Insert those numbers in the percent change formula to find the answer. \(percent ~change = \dfrac{new ~number - old ~number}{old ~number} \times 100\) \(percent ~change = \dfrac{300 - 200}{200} \times 100 = \dfrac{100}{200} \times 100 = 50\%\)
An increase from 50 to 90 is: \(percent ~change = \dfrac{90 - 50}{50} \times 100 = \dfrac{40}{50} \times 100 = 0.8 \times 100 = 80\%\)
The answer to the first question is 80%. Since the answer is positive, it is a percent increase. If the answer is negative, it is a percent decrease.
Here is the second problem. What is the percent decrease from 110 to 77? Again, we use the formula. This time, we use 100 fro the old number, and 77 for the new number. \(percent ~change = \dfrac{77 - 110}{110} \times 100 = \dfrac{-33}{110} \times 100 = -0.3\times 100 =-33\%\) Since the answer is negative, the answer is percent decrease. The answer is 33% decrease.
