The sales of a particular brand of children’s athletic shoes rose from $4,600,000 to $5,300,000. Find the percent of increase in sales. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Respuesta :

increase in sales = $5,300,000 - $4,600,000 = $700 000

percentage increase = 700 000/4 600 000 * 100 = 15.2%

Lets get started :)

To find the percentage increase:
increase = new price - original price
               = 5300000 - 4600000
               = 700000

% Increase = [tex] \frac{increase}{original price} [/tex] x 100
                   = [tex] \frac{700000}{4600000} [/tex] x 100
                   = [tex]15 \frac{5}{23} % = \frac{350}{23} [/tex] %
                   ≈ 15.2 % (to nearest tenth)
