Question

When heated and metal barn creases in line from 1.25 m to 1.262 m calculate percentage increase the correct one decimal place. Can someone please help me!!!!

Answer 1

0.96%

Explanation:

Well the easy way to do this is

1.262

- - - - - - - x 100 = 100.96%

1.25

( this is just saying, now the thing is 100.96% of it original size)

So now they are asking the increase, so just simply take

100.96 - 100

= 0.96%
