Question

The electricity consumption in a start-up company was 4 kwh per day. As the manpower increased, the consumption of electricity increased to 10 kwh per day. What is the percent of increase in the consumption of electricity at the start-up company?

Answer 1

150%

Explanation:

10-4 is 6, and that is how much it increased by. Now, you have to find what percentage is 6 out of 4. 6/4 is 1.5, so you would multiply 1.5 by 100 to make it into a percent. 1.5*100=150, so your answer is 150%.
