An increase from 16 to 20 is what percent of increase?

Answer 1

25%

Unless otherwise indicated, your measure begins at 16, and that is the foundation upon which you base the modification.

That is: #(20-16)/16# is you fraction.
This gives: #4/16 -> (4-:4)/(16-:4) =1/4 #

We need the denominator to become 100 in order for this to be a percentage, so we have:

#1/4 ->(1/4xx1) ->(1/4xx25/25)=25/100#

We have 25% to express this in the standard script form.

"Hey Johnny, this is a footnote:

Sometimes the use of % and its meaning is misunderstood. The % that follows the 25 really means that we have 25 parts out of 100. In other words: #25/100#
To coin a phrase; 25% and #25/100# are 'one and the same thing'.

Answer 2

To find the percent increase, subtract the original value from the new value to find the increase, then divide the increase by the original value and multiply by 100.

Increase = New value - Original value Increase = 20 - 16 = 4

Percent increase = (Increase / Original value) * 100 Percent increase = (4 / 16) * 100 = 25%

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
