Step-by-step explanation:

Find the amount of the increase:

8.13 - 6.19 = 1.94

Divide the amount of the increase by the original price:

1.94 / 6.19 = 0.3134

Multiply by 100:

0.3134 x 100 = 31.34%

Round to the nearest tenth = 31.3%

Answer:

  • The percent of increase is 37.8%

Given

  • Price in 2007 = $6.45,
  • Price in 2017 = $8.89.

Find the increase in price:

  • 8.89 - 6.45 = 2.44

Find the percent value of the increase over the initial price:

  • (2.44/6.45)*100% = 37.8% (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent)
