Question

Find each percent increase. Round to the nearest percent.

From 5 miles to 16 miles

I need the increase in percentage

Answer 1

220%

Explanation:

`Percentage\ Increase/Decrease=(Final\ Quantity\ - Initial\ Quantity)/(Initial\ Quantity) *100\\Percentage\ Increase/Decrease=(16-5)/(5)*100\\=11*20\\=220\ \%`

As Final quantity is larger than the Initial Quantity, the net percent is an increase.
