Question

Christian's money from his job increased from $12 hour to $21 hour. What is the percent increase?

Answer 1

75%

Explanation:

Starting value: 12

Final Value: 21

Subtract final value minus starting value

Divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value

Multiply by 100 to get percent increase

If the percentage is negative, it means there was a decrease and not an increase.
