What is the percentage increase in the price of a product that went from $50 to $75?

The percentage increase in the price of the product is 50%. This can be calculated as the difference between the new price and the original price ($75 - $50 = $25), divided by the original price ($25 / $50 = 0.5), and then multiplied by 100 to convert it to a percentage (0.5 * 100 = 50%).

By what percentage did a company's stock price decrease when it went from $100 to $85?

If you start with 100 apples and end up with 80, what is the percentage decrease in the number of apples?

The percentage decrease in the number of apples is 20%, calculated by dividing the difference between the initial and final number of apples (100-80 = 20) by the initial number of apples (20/100 = 0.20), and then converting it to a percentage (0.20 x 100 = 20%).

A company had sales of $1,000 in January and $1,500 in February. What is the percentage increase in sales?

The percentage increase in sales from January to February is 50%. This is calculated by finding the difference between the two sales figures ($1,500 - $1,000 = $500) and then dividing that difference by the initial sales figure in January ($500 / $1,000 = 0.5). Finally, multiplying by 100 gives us the percentage increase which is 50%.

If a car originally costs $20,000 and is now on sale for $16,000, what is the percentage discount?

The percentage discount on the car is 20%. This is calculated by finding the difference between the original price and the sale price (20,000 - 16,000 = 4,000) and then dividing this difference by the original price (4,000 / 20,000 = 0.20 or 20%).

The population of a town went from 10,000 to 12,000. What is the percentage increase in population?

The percentage increase in population is 20%, calculated by dividing the increase in population (12,000 - 10,000 = 2,000) by the original population (10,000) and then multiplying by 100. So, (2,000 / 10,000) * 100 = 20%.

If a store had 200 customers one day and 150 the next day, what is the percentage decrease in customers?

The percentage decrease in customers from 200 to 150 is 25%. This can be calculated by finding the difference between the two numbers (200-150=50) and then dividing the difference by the initial number (50/200=0.25). Multiplying the result by 100 gives us a percentage decrease of 25%.

A restaurant had 500 customers on Monday and 450 customers on Tuesday. What is the percentage decrease in customers?

The percentage decrease in customers from Monday to Tuesday is 10%. This is calculated by taking the difference between the two numbers (500 - 450 = 50), dividing it by the original number (50 / 500 = 0.1), and converting it to a percentage (0.1 x 100% = 10%).
