Question

holly's business made $80,000 last year. this year she made $90 000. what is the percentage change? (round your answer to the nearest precent)

Answer 1

We have the following:

$|\frac{90000-80000}{80000}|\cdot100=\frac{10000}{80000}\cdot100=\frac{25}{2}\cdot100=12.5$

Therefore the percentage change is the 12.5 %
