84 - 60 = 24
(24/60) * 100 = % of increase = ?
To calculate the percent increase, you need to find the difference between the final value and the initial value, and then divide that difference by the initial value. This will give you a decimal value, which can be multiplied by 100 to convert it into a percentage.
In this case, the initial value is $60 and the final value is $84. To find the difference, subtract $60 from $84:
$84 - $60 = $24
Next, divide the difference ($24) by the initial value ($60):
$24 / $60 = 0.4
To convert this decimal into a percentage, multiply it by 100:
0.4 * 100 = 40%
Therefore, the percent increase for the savings account is 40%.
