Question #61b1b

Answer 1

Percent increase `= 32%`

Explanation:

First, let's evaluate what percentage of `12,250` gives `16,170`:

`=> (12,250) / (100) cdot x = 16,170`

`=> 122.5 x = 16,170`

`=> x = 132%`

This means that `132%` of `12,250` is equal to `16,170`.

`100%` of any number is equal to that number.

`=> 100%` of `12,250 = 12,250`

So if we added `32%` of `12,250` to itself, we would get `16,170`.

Therefore, the percent increase is `32%`.
