To calculate the percent increase: Step 1: Find the difference between the new value and the original value. [ 30 - 24 = 6 ] Step 2: Divide the difference by the original value. [ \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4} ] Step 3: Convert the fraction to a percentage. [ \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25% ] So, the percent increase is 25%.
