Answer:
Michelle purchased 25 audio files in January. The percent increase is 60%
Solution:
Given Data:
Michelle purchases = 25 audio files in January
Again purchased = 40 audio files in February
We need to find the percent increase for the given data.
Step 1:
Use the formula for percent change ,
[tex]=\frac{\text { amount of change }}{\text { original amount. }}[/tex]
Step 2:
First we find the amount of change from the question.
Amount of change = 40 – 25
By subtracting, we get 15.
Step 3:
substitute the values in formula we get,
Formula percent change = [tex]\frac{15}{25}[/tex] = 0.6
Percent = 0.6 [tex]\times[/tex] 100 = 60 %.
Result:
Michelle purchased 25 audio files in January. And In February she purchased 40 audio files. Hence the percent increase is 60%.
