Question

A ​used-boat dealership buys a boat for ​$2900 and then sells it for ​$4500. What is the percent​ increase?(Round to the nearest whole number as​ needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide the new price by the original price

4500/2900 = ca. 1.5517

Take away 100% from this answer and we get 0.5517 over the original price

This is the same as 55.17% can be rounded to 55%
