Question

In 1992, Jason bought a gallon of gas for $1.16. Yesterday, he bought a gallon of gas for $2.09. What is the percentage increase of the price of a gallon of gas from 1992 to yesterday? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

191.4%

Explanation:

2.22=($\frac{x}{100}$)(1.16)

x=2.22(100)÷1.6

x=191.4%

Answer 2

180.2%

2.09/ 1.16= 1.8017
1.8017•100=180.17
If you round 180.17 you get 180.2%
