Question

Iceberg lettuce is grown and shipped to stores for about 40 cents a head, and consumers purchase it for about 92 cents a head. Find the percent increase.

Answer 1

Answer: 130%

Step-by-step explanation:

• percent increase = x

$40 + 40(x) = 9240\\40(1 + x) = 92\\1+x=\frac{92}{40} \\x=\frac{92}{40} -1=2.3-1=1.3$

x = 1.3 = 130%
