Find the percent of increase. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent where necessary.
32 to 76
A. 137.5%
B. 42.1%
C. 57.9%
D. 2.4%
B. 42.1%
To find the percent of increase from 32 to 76, you can use the formula:
Percent increase = (New value - Old value) / Old value * 100
Plugging in the values, we get:
Percent increase = (76 - 32) / 32 * 100
= 44 / 32 * 100
= 1.375 * 100
= 137.5
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, the answer is 137.5%.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 137.5%.
To find the percent increase, we first need to calculate the difference between the two numbers.
76 - 32 = 44
Next, divide the difference by the original number and multiply by 100 to find the percentage increase:
(44 / 32) * 100 = 137.5
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, the percent increase is 137.5 percent.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. 137.5%
