Question

What is the percent of increase from 8 feet to 10 feet round to the nearest tenth if necessary

Answer 1

The first step is to find how much was the increase, so we just need to subtract 10 and 8:

$10-8=2$

The increase was 2 units. So now, in order to find the percent of increase, we just need to divide the increase by the initial value:

$\frac{2}{8}=0.25=25\text{\%}$

So the percent of increase is 25%.
