When driving past the gas station earlier, I noticed that gas was $2.18 a gallon. On my way back home, the gas was $2.48 a gallon. What was the percent increase in the price of gas rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer :

absor201

The percent increase is: 13.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent increase is given by:

[tex]Percent\ increase=\frac{Increase}{Original\ price}*100[/tex]

Where

[tex]increase= New\ price - Old\ price[/tex]

Here

New price = $2.48

Old Price = $2.18

So,

[tex]Increase = 2.48 - 2.18\\= 0.3[/tex]

[tex]Percent\ increase = \frac{0.3}{2.18} * 100\\=0.1376*100\\=13.76\%[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest tenth

[tex]13.8\%[/tex]

The percent increase is: 13.8%
