A girl’s club held a fundraiser last year and raised $600 for the local soup kitchen. This year they raised $960. What is the percent change in the total amount raised by the girl’s club?
To find percent change you take the new value, subtract it from the old value and then put that number over the original value. In this case it would be 960-600=360, 360/600=36/60=6/10 or 60 percent.
