Question

The price of a pair of shoes increases from $65 to $71. What is the percent increase to the nearest percent?

Answer 1

Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

71 - 65 = 6 (final value - initial value)

6 / 65 = 0.0923... (divide the answer by the initial value)

0.0923 * 100 = 9.23% (Multiply by 100 to find the percentage)

Round 9.23 to the nearest whole number → 9%
