Question

Find the percentage increase or decrease in each case: Original value = 700 g New value = 735 g​

Answer 1

5% increase

Explanation:

percentage increase is calculated as

`(increase)/(original)` × 100%

here the increase = new value - original value = 735 - 700 = 35 g , then

percentage increase =
`(35)/(700)` × 100% = 0.05 × 100% = 5%
