volume_muteIn one school district, the number of home-schooled children increased from 15 to 150 in 4 years.
Find the percent of increase
Answer = %
Correct Answer
(1) 900
Explanation
To find the percent increase, we use the formula
$\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \cdot 100$
Given
- Old Value = 15
- New Value = 150
Calculation:
- Percent Increase = \(\frac{150 - 15}{15} \cdot 100\)
- Percent Increase = \(\frac{135}{15} \cdot 100\)
- Percent Increase = \(9 \cdot 100 = 900%\)
The percent increase is 900%
