Question

How do you find the percent change from 16 to 56?

Answer 1

250% increase or 2.5 times more

Explanation:

The general percentage change formula is:
`"%change"=(quantity_"new" - quantity_"original")/(quantity_"original") *100`
in this case,
`"%change"=(56-16)/16 *100`
`"%change"=250`
So as the quantity is `+ve` so it is 250% increase or 2.5 times more
