Question

If the original quantity is 10 and the new quantity is 13 what is the percent increase

Answer 1

As per the given statement:

Original quantity = 10

New quantity = 13

Change in quantity = New quantity - original quantity = 13-10 = 3

We have to find the percent increase.

`\text{Percent increase} = \frac{\text{Change in quantity}}{\text{Original quanity}} * 100`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{Percent increase} = (3)/(10) * 100 = 30\%`

Therefore, the percent increase is, 30%.
