Answer:
Percent increase is 70%.
Explanation:
The original price was $110. That will go on the bottom (denominator) in our calculation. On the top (numerator) we put the change in the dollar amount. The new price is $187. So we'll subtract:
187 - 110
= 77
The change in price was $77.
change/original
= 77/110
= 0.7
Change the decimal answer to a percent by multiplying by 100.
0.7 × 100
= 70%
The percent increase is 70%.
