Question 92394
<pre><font size = 3><b>
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
What is the percentage increase from 22,762 to 38,139. 
Thank you.

The formula for percentage increase:

   NEW AMOUNT - OLD AMOUNT 
---------------------------- × 100%
          OLD AMOUNT
                
NEW AMOUNT = 38139
OLD AMOUNT = 22762

{{{(38139-22762)/22762}}}×100% =

{{{15377/22762}}}×100% = .6755557508

or 67.55557508%
