What is the percent increase from $5 to $8 rounded to the nearest percent

When 5 is increased to 8, the increase is exactly 60 percent,
with no rounding necessary.

(The increase is 3, and 3 is exactly 60% of the original 5 .)

For this case we can make the following rule of three:

5 $ ----------------------> 100%

$ 8 ----------------------> x

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

[tex] x = (\frac{8}{5}) * (100)

x = 160
[/tex]

Therefore, the percentage of growth is given by:

[tex] 160 - 100 = 60
[/tex]

Answer:

the percent increase from $ 5 to $ 8 rounded to the nearest percent is:

60%
