From 75 pencil to 225 pencils. round to the nearest percent.

200 %

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above, the pencils increases from 75 to 225, so  what we are looking for is the percentage increase

The formula for finding percentage increase is;

% increase =           ×   100%

First; we will find the difference between the two numbers i.e 75 and 225

Increase = New number - Original number

                         = 225      -   75

                          =  150

Then we divide the increase by the original number and then multiply by 100 %

That is;

% increase =   ×  100%

                   = 2   ×  100%

                     = 200%

Therefore; the percentage increase is 200%
