Answer 1

#=30%# increase

Any change can be given as a percent, no matter whether it is a profit, loss, increase, decrease, discount, markup etc.

#% "change " = "amount of change"/"original amount" xx 100%#

In this case, the change is from #110 to 143#

The difference is: #143-110 = 33#

#33/110 xx 100%#

#=30%# increase

To find the percent change between two values, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100]

Using the values given:

[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{143 - 110}{110} \times 100]

[ \text{Percent Change} = \frac{33}{110} \times 100]

[ \text{Percent Change} \approx 30% ]

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.
