By how much does 3 percent exceed 2 percent?

Question

^_^

Answer 1

3% exceeds 2% by 1% of the total sum. However, 3% itself is 1.5 times more than 2%, so it exceeds 2% by 50%.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Exceed means the difference:

x = 3% - 2% = 1%

Answer 4

It exceed by 1 in every 100.

Answer 5

by 50%

3%=2%+1% = 2%+ (50% of 2%)

it can also be viewed as 3/100=2/100+1/100 = 2/100+1/2(2/100)

Answer 6

1. divide 12 by 48 ( 12/48 ) to get 25% off 2. divide 25 by 125 ( 25/125 ) to get 20% off 3. Question one has a $12 from $48. This can be represented as a fraction ( 12 over 48 ) . The virgule (middle line of a fraction), universally, means to divide. If you divide 12 by 48, you will get 0.25 . 0.25 is in decimal form, but to convert it to a percent, you multiply by 100 . 100 x 0.25=25 . Therefore, you get 25% off. Question two, you get $25 off a purchase of $100 or more. Since $125 is over $100, you get $25 off $125. This can be represented as a fraction ( 25 over 125 ) . The virgule tells you to divide, so you should divide 25 by 125 ( 0.2 ). After, you multiply that answer by 100 to convert it to a percent. 0.2 x 100 = 20. Therefore, you get 20% off. Ultimately, both questions are the same thing, just different situations.
