I need help with this one, could someone tell me how I would be able to do this?
1. Find the percent of change when the price of a radio changes from $40.00 to $44.00.
A. 10% decrease
B. 10% increase
C. 36.4% decrease
D. 40% increase
Thanks!
1. B
2. D
3. A
4. D
5. B
Nikka Kiss is 100% right tysm
change: 44-40 = +4
% change: 4/40 = 1/10 = +10%
% change is figured by dividing the change amount by the starting value.
still correct after all this time! thanks broski!
Thank you so much Steve! I get it now, thanks so much!
To find the percent of change, follow these steps:
Step 1: Subtract the initial price from the final price. In this case, subtract $40.00 from $44.00:
$44.00 - $40.00 = $4.00
Step 2: Divide the result from Step 1 by the initial price. In this case, divide $4.00 by $40.00:
$4.00 / $40.00 = 0.10
Step 3: Multiply the result from Step 2 by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
0.10 * 100 = 10
Step 4: Note the sign of the result from Step 1 to determine if it's an increase or a decrease. In this case, since the price increased, the sign is positive.
The percent of change is 10%, as calculated above. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 10% increase.
