Question

What is the percent increase from 35 to 56?

Answer 1

`60 %`

Explanation:

The increase is `56-35=21`, which we then express as a percentage of the original `35`:

`21/35 * 100= (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(7)))*3)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(7)))*5)*100= 3/5*100= 3*100/5= 3*20= 60`
