Question

The cost of a fishing pole has risen to $48 this week. Last week's cost was $43 . Find the percentage increase. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

11.6%

Explanation:

First, we have to find how much it increases

48 - 43 = $5

We know it increases by $5

Then we take

5 divided by 43, then times 100 = 11.6%

So, it increases 11.6%
