1 Answer

$= 30 %$ $=30%$ increase

Explanation:

Any change can be given as a percent, no matter whether it is a profit, loss, increase, decrease, discount, markup etc.

$% change = \frac{amount of change}{original amount} \times 100 %$ $% "change " = "amount of change"/"original amount" xx 100%$

In this case, the change is from $110 \to 143$ $110 to 143$

The difference is: $143 - 110 = 33$ $143-110 = 33$

$\frac{33}{110} \times 100 %$ $33/110 xx 100%$

$= 30 %$ $=30%$ increase
