What is the percentage of increase between these two numbers...?

Question

first measurement is 1.28, second measurement is 1.63...what percentage did the measurement increase by?

Thanks for the answers...sometimes when you dont use this stuff in awhile you get brain block...if you knew how old I was and what degree I have you would get a good laugh.

Thanks again.

Answer 1

To find percentage increase we need to create a percentage:

Second/First >>> 1.63/1.28

This equates to 1.2734375

Now we subtract 1 (that's excess stuff) and multiply by 100, to get our percentage:

1.2734375 - 1 = 0.2734375
0.2734375 * 100 = 27.34375%

Answer 2

To work out the percentage change divide the second number by the first number:

1.63 / 1.28 = 1.27 (1)

Then subtract 1:

1.27 - 1 = 0.27 (2)

And multiply by 100:

0.27 * 100 = 27 (3)

So the measurement has increased by 27%.

If the number at step 2 is negative it represents a decrease.

Answer 3

To work out percentage increase you must firstly find the difference between the two wages: £7.20 - £6.50 = £0.70 Now to work this out as a percentage you use this format: (Difference divided by Original value) x 100% So... (£0.70 / £6.50) x 100% = 10.769...% To an appropriate degree of accuracy would probably be around 10.77% (as there are 2 decimal places in the question) Hope that helps!

Answer 4

Increase = 0.35
% increase
= (0.35 / 1.28) x 100%
= 35 / 1.28 %
= 27.3 % (to 1 decimal place)

Answer 5

27.3%

1st= 1.28
2nd = 1.63

diff = 1.63 -1.28 =0.35
% = diff /1st * 100
= 0.35/1.28 *100
=27.3
