Question

Last month, a printing company printed $56,000.00 worth of books. This month, they printed $63,000.00 worth of books. What is the percent increase in their printing?

Answer 1

Answer: 12.5%

Explanation:

56000 • x% = 63000

56000 • x/100 = 63000

56000x = 6,300,000

x = 6,300,000/56,000

x = 112.5%

x - 100 = 112.5% - 100% = 12.5%
