my question is : price was $25 and increased to $1200 what is the percent increase?
1175/25 = 4700% increase
Are you sure you haven't made a mistake in your problem?
Thanks Sue!
To calculate the percent increase, we need to find the difference between the new value and the original value, and then divide that difference by the original value. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage.
In this case, the original price was $25, and it increased to $1200. To find the difference between the two values, subtract the original price from the new price:
$1200 - $25 = $1175
Next, divide the difference by the original price:
$1175 / $25 = 47
To express this as a percentage, multiply the result by 100:
47 * 100 = 4700%
Therefore, the percent increase is 4700%.
