Question

Last year the French club raised $300 at their fall fundraiser. This year they raised $450. What is the percent increase in the amount raised?

(IN YOUR OWN WORD'S)

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual increase = $150

% increase = (actual change ÷ start value) × 100

                   = (150 ÷ 300) × 100

                    = 0.5 × 100

                    = 50%
