No...It cannot be. I am talking about percentage.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
explain how it would be 16% then
OpenStudy (anonymous):
174-150
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and that equals 24
MsBrains (ms-brains):
150 coins + 24 coins = 174 coins.
By how much did it increase?
I think it increased by 16%
Because 16% percent of 150 is 24, and we need 24 coins to get 174.
That's what I am thinking, but I not sure. :-;
