What Percent Increase
2016-11-14 07:21:54 · answer #2 · answered by alterma 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
25% because you have to do 5-4=1 then divide the one by 4...equals 25% increase. You always divide the subtracted number by the first number in the order...like 4$ to 5$ the 4 is first so...Oh ya, if it the numbers are getting larger than it is always an increase if it goes lower like..9 to 4 then that would be a decrease. I hope this helps you better to learn on this matter.

Percent Increase = (new - original/original) * 100 % = ((5-4) / 4) * 100% = 25 %

25% increase
You went up $1, which is 1/4 of $4, thus 25% increase.

25% because a full 100% increase would mean another $4 dollars, whereas you are only 1/4 of the way there!

you have to first subtract the original amount from the final amount to find the amount of increase.
$5 - $4 = $1
Next divide that number by the original amount to compare the amount of change with the original amount.
$1 / $4 = .25
Then convert to percent to answer the question.
.25=25/100=25%
Good luck!
