Ok, last one: On Monday, a clothing store sold 25 pairs of pants. On Tuesday, the store sold 37 pairs of pants. What was the percent of increase in number of pants sold from Monday to Tuesday? 30%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 32%

OpenStudy (sptogl):

48%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Explain pls @sptogl

OpenStudy (sptogl):

take 37 and take 25 away from it, that is 12

OpenStudy (sptogl):

oops i made a mistake

OpenStudy (sptogl):

sorry

OpenStudy (sptogl):

15*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so what is it then? Am I correct?

OpenStudy (sptogl):

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 25-37 though right? So wouldn't it be -12?

OpenStudy (sptogl):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So -12 divided by 37 is 0.324 right? And that changed to a decimal isn't 32%? ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sptogl

OpenStudy (sptogl):

its 0.48

OpenStudy (sptogl):

divided by 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHH sorry I got 25 and 37 mixed up ;-;

OpenStudy (sptogl):

lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I got to go now, thanks so much for your help!

OpenStudy (sptogl):

bye and no problem
