Question

If an item that originally cost $14 is increased to $22, what is the percentage of increase in the item?

Answer 1

= 57.14%

Explanation:

Percent increase = (new - original)/original *100 %

We know the new =22

and the original =14

Percent increase = (22 - 14)/14 *100 %

= 8/14 * 100%

=.571428571 * 100 %

= 57.14%
