Jon increased his trading card collection by 5 cards. he originally had 15 cards. what is the percent increase?

Answer 1

Jon stars with 15 trading cards and adds 5 to his collection. You divide the original 15 into the additional 5 to get a 1/3 increase, which translates to say that the addition of 5 cards is a 33.3% increase in Jon's trading card collection
