Question

Find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

1/4 to 1/2

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

The percentage change can be computed from ...

pct change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

= ((1/2)/(1/4) -1) × 100%

= (2 -1) × 100%

= 100%

The increase by 1/4 from 1/4 to 1/2 is an increase of 100%.
