Suppose 36 videos are added to a video collection that has 24 videos. What is the percentage of change.
I got 50 percent....my mom says it's 150 percent.
thanks!
Didn't you read this answer to your previous post?

Mom is right again! :-)
1.5 * 24 = 36
Aren't we moms always right? <g>
To calculate the percentage of change, we can use the following formula:
Percentage change = (Amount of change / Initial value) * 100
In this case, the initial value is 24 videos and the amount of change is +36 videos (since they were added). So we have:
Percentage change = (36 / 24) * 100
Percentage change = 1.5 * 100
Percentage change = 150%
Therefore, your mom is correct. The percentage of change is 150%.
