what are #s 3 and #4 then???
To identify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease, you need to compare the original value to the new value.
For problem #2:
Original: 23
New: 46
To find the percent of change, you can use the following formula:
Percent of Change = [(New Value - Original Value) / |Original Value|] * 100
Percent of Change = [(46 - 23) / |23|] * 100
= [23 / 23] * 100
= 100%
Since the percent of change is positive 100%, this indicates that it is a 100% increase.
For problem #3:
Original: 120
New: 150
Using the same formula:
Percent of Change = [(New Value - Original Value) / |Original Value|] * 100
Percent of Change = [(150 - 120) / |120|] * 100
= [30 / 120] * 100
= 25%
Since the percent of change is positive 25%, this indicates that it is a 25% increase.
To summarize, for problem #2, there is a 100% increase, and for problem #3, there is a 25% increase.
so for # 2 i would get 0.005% right??
and for #3 i would get 0.002% right??
