Question

what is the percent increase from $5 to $8 rounded to the nearest percent

Answer 1

$8 - $5 = $3, so we may want to find out how much percent of 5 is 3. 3 = x% of 5 3 = x/100 * 5 3 = x/20 * 1 3 = x/20 / * 20 (both sides) x = 60 [percent] So now we know that 3 is 60% of 5. It also means that the increase from $5 to $8 was by 60%.

Answer 2

26 is the best answer
