Question

In the year 2000, a very valuable necklace sold at an auction for $7,096,000. In the year
2019, that same necklace sold for $11,818,500. What was the % increase in the value of the
necklace? (Type your answer below as a percent rounded to one decimal place)

Could someone help me out I’m having a hard time. Answer or formula please and thank you so much

Answer 1

% change = (actual change) / (starting value) * 100%
so, for this problem, that is
(11,818,500 - 7,096,000) / 7,096,000 = 0.6655 or 66.55%
