What is the percent of increase from 2 to 3?

Question

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answer 1

To find the percent increase from 2 to 3, you can use the formula for percent increase:

\[ \text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \right) \times 100 \]

Here, the old value is 2 and the new value is 3.

\[ \text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{3 - 2}{2} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times 100 = 50% \]

So, the percent of increase from 2 to 3 is 50%.
