A. 20%
B. 30%
C. 40%
D. 50%
Is the answer C?
Right.
20/50 = 40%
yes I agree.
To find the percent of increase from 50 to 70, you need to use the following formula:
Percent increase = [(new value - initial value) / initial value] * 100
Applying this formula, we get:
Percent increase = [(70 - 50) / 50] * 100
Percent increase = (20 / 50) * 100
Percent increase = 0.4 * 100
Percent increase = 40%
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 40%.
