Question

Rita's tuition bill for last semester was $4360 If she paid $6052 in tuition this semester what was the percentage increase on her tuition

Please help me as I am not sure of my answer which is 0.38%

Answer 1

That would be less than 1 percent which is obviously wrong.

(6052 - 4360) / 4360 = 0.388

Multiply the decimal answer by 100.

0.388 * 100 = 38.8% or 39%
