My question is:
The price of gasoline increased from 93.9 to 99.9. Write the increse as a percent.
My answer is: 6%
Am i correct?
It's almost correct.
Percentage Increases are measured in actual increse divided by the original value.
In the given case, actual increase is 6 cents, and the original value (price) is 93.9 cents. The percentage increase is therefore
6/93.9*100%, a little more than 6%.
2+2
To find the percentage increase, you need to first calculate the difference between the two values, and then divide that difference by the initial value. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
In this case, the initial price of gasoline is 93.9 and the final price is 99.9. To find the difference, subtract the initial price from the final price: 99.9 - 93.9 = 6.
Next, divide the difference by the initial price: 6 / 93.9 = 0.0638.
Finally, multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.0638 * 100 = 6.38%.
So, the correct answer is 6.38%.
yes its not that hard
99.9-93.9=6
