Question

Until recently, Aubrey owned 1,480 acres of farmland. This year, she sold the old land and purchased a new plot that is 1,998 acres in size. What is the percent of increase in the amount of land that Aubrey owns now?

PLEASE HELP❗️

Answer 1

Answer:

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

1,998-1,480=518

^^this gives us how far the numbers are apart

518/1,480= 0.35

^^this is to get us the percent difference.

0.35=35% becuase you move the decimal to the right 2 times to create a percent.

To check: 1,480 + 35% = 1, 998

So, it increased by 35%.
