8 is increased to 22, what is the percent change?

1 Answer

Oct 28, 2016

The precent change was 175%

Explanation:

The formula for percent change is #p = (N - O)/O * 100# where #p# is the percentage change, #N# is the new value and #O# is the old value.

Substituting what we know gives:

#p = (22 - 8) / 8 * 100#

#p = 14/8 * 100#

#p = 1.75 * 100#

#p = 175#
