Question

The town of Maxwell increased its annual budget from $1,300,000 to 1,800,000. Find the percent increase in the budget . HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

For the answer to the question above, divide the change which is 500,000 by the original amount
(500,000)/(1,300,000) = 0.3846 and finally multiply that by 100 to convert over to a percentage: 0.3846*100 = 38.46%

I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!
