Question 249681: I need help with the question: "Over a year's period, the dairy herd at Wholesome Dairy increased from 200 to 240. What percent increase is this? Note the amount of increase is 40, thus another way to ask the above question is, 40 is what percent of 200?"
Percentages are not my strong point, and I'm probably just over thinking this but I have no idea how to do this, so please help. Thanks Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! What does percent increase mean?
If you owe me 50 dollars and you give me 20% today, how much do you give me today?
