PLEASE HELP AN CHECK MY WORK? WILL MEDAL! Amir’s coin collection consisted of 150 coins in November. By the following June, his collection had grown to 174 coins. By how much did his collection increase between November and June? A. 9% B. 14% C. 16% <--- I think it's this? D. 24%

MsBrains (ms-brains):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

174-150

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that equals 24

MsBrains (ms-brains):

No...It cannot be. I am talking about percentage.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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. :-;
