Find the percent of change and state whether it was a percent of increase (i) or percent of decrease (d). from $289 to $762 a. -164%; d c. -473%; d b. 164%; i d. 473%; i

percent change = ((new amount) - (original amount))/(original amount) × 100%

... = ($762 - 289)/($289) × 100%

... = (473/289) × 100% ≈ 164%

This number is positive, so represents an increase. The appropriate choice is

... b. 164%; I

After you find the difference of 473, you can compare it to 289. The ratio is about 480/300 = 1.6, close enough to help you choose 164% instead of 473%. You know it is an increase because 762 > 289.

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
