Question

A number changes from 50 to 76. What type of percent change is this? Calculate the percent change.

Answer 1

This is a positive increase

You need to find the difference between 50 and 76 which is 26.
Then you do 26/50 which is 0.52. Multiply 0.52 by 100 and that leaves you with 52.

The percentage increase is 52%.

Answer 2

50 is the old value and 76 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 52 percent because the new value is greater than the old value.
