Problema Solution
iceberg lettuce is grown and shipped to stores for about 40 cents a head, and consumers purchase it for about 96 cents a head. Find the percent increase
Answer provided by our tutors
the increase = second price (consumers price) - first price (shipping price)
the percent increase = the increase / first price (shipping price)
thus we have
(96 - 40) / 40 = 1.4 by multiplying with 100 we get the %
that is 1.4 * 100 = %140
The percent increase is %140.
