Question

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.
