The number of volunteers to walk dogs at the local animal shelter last year was 20 this year the number of volunteers has risen to 50 what is the percent of the increase in the number of volunteers?

Respuesta :

There is 150% increase in the number of volunteers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Old number of volunteers = 20

New number of volunteers = 50

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 50 - 20 = +30

The positive sign indicates the increase.

Percent increase = [tex]\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100\\[/tex]

[tex]Percent\ increase=\frac{30}{20}*100\\\\Percent\ increase=\frac{3000}{20}\\\\Percent\ increase=150\%[/tex]

There is 150% increase in the number of volunteers.
