Question

Find the percent of increase from 10 to 15.

Question 1 options:

0% increase


10% increase


50% increase


100% increase

Answer 1

To find the percent of increase from 10 to 15, you can use the following formula:

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

In this case, the old value is 10 and the new value is 15. Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{15 - 10}{10} \times 100
\]
\[
= \frac{5}{10} \times 100
\]
\[
= 0.5 \times 100
\]
\[
= 50\%
\]

So, the percent of increase from 10 to 15 is **50% increase**.

The correct option is **50% increase**.
