Question

If an item that originally cost $14 is increased to $22, what is the percentage of increase in the item?

Answer 1

Answer:

   = 57.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase = (new - original)/original *100 %

We know the new =22

and the original =14

Percent increase = (22 - 14)/14 *100 %

                            = 8/14 * 100%

                            =.571428571 * 100 %

                             = 57.14%
