Given the value:
26 to 32
Determine the percent of increase.
Solution:
In order to determine the percent of increase we first subtract 32 by 26. After subtraction, we divide the difference by 26.
= 32 - 26
= 6
= 6/26
=0.23
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.23)(100)
= 23%
Final answer:
The percent of increase is 23%
