You can put this solution on YOUR website! if I pay .25 cents for an item and sell it for 35.00 what is the percent increase? I believe 100% would of course be 50 cents. 75 cents would be 1000%? I am confused help please, thank you, lori
--------------
I believe 100% would of course be 50 cents. That's correct.
---------------
75 cents would be 1000%?
That's an increase of 50 cents = 200% increase
==================
If you mean 25 cents, and not .25 cents, and $35,
3500/25 = 140 times
--> 139 times more
= 13,900% increase
==================
