Daily visitors to a garden rise from 240 on Monday to 300 on Tuesday. What is the percent increase? Enter the number of percent.
Correct answer
25
Explanation
The increase is 300 - 240 = 60, and the old value is the base, so 60 / 240 x 100 = 25%. Dividing by 300 would use the new value and give 20%, answering a different comparison.
