What is the Percent Change in the number of cupcakes?

Answer 1

The Percent Change in the number of cupcakes is 60%

How to determine the Percent Change in the number of cupcakes?

The given parameters are:

Initial number of cupcakes = 70

Final number of cupcakes = 112

The Percent Change in the number of cupcakes:

Percent = (Final number of cupcakes - Initial number of cupcakes)/Initial number of cupcakes  * 100%

This gives

Percent = (112 - 70)/70 * 100%

Evaluate the quotient

So, we have

Percent = 0.6 * 100%

Evaluate the product

So, we have

Percent = 60%

Hence, the Percent Change in the number of cupcakes is 60%
