Answer: 200%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the percent increase in student fees. The amount of increase in student fees is given by
final amount − initial amount = increase
12,000 − 4,000 = 8,000
We can now find the percent increase by finding what percent the amount of increase is of the initial amount. In other words, we want to find what percent 8,000 is ... of 4,000.
Let p be the percent. The question can be translated into an equation.
8,000 {is} {what percent} {of} 4,000
8,000 {=} { P } {x} 4,000
To solve for p, we can now divide each side by 4,000 and simplify.
8,000 = 4,000p
p=2
To convert p to a percent, multiply 2 by 100.
2 x 100
=200%
It follows that the percent increase in student fees was 200%.
Answer:
200%
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the amount of change.
12,000−4,000=8,000
Find the percent.
Change is what percent of the original amount?
Let p= the percent.
8,000 is what percent of 4,000?
Translate to an equation and simplify.
8,000 = p⋅ 4,000=
8,000 = 4,000p
Divide both sides by 4,000 and change to percent form.
2=p
200%=p
