a u.s based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 149,000 motorcycles tbis year, up from 137,000 last year. find the percent of increase in production

Would it be 8.75 percent increase?

I took 149,000-137,000/137,000 and I got .08759124 and converted it to 8.75 percent.

Thanks

You are correct

Well, you're close, but I'll have to correct you on that. To find the percentage increase in production, you should divide the difference of the two numbers by the original number and then multiply it by 100.

So, let's do the math:

(149,000 - 137,000) / 137,000 * 100 = 12,000 / 137,000 * 100 ≈ 8.76%

Therefore, the correct answer is approximately 8.76% increase in production. Keep those calculations rolling, my friend!

To find the percent increase in production, you can use the following formula:

Percent Increase = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100

In this case, the old value is 137,000 and the new value is 149,000. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Percent Increase = ((149,000 - 137,000) / 137,000) * 100
Percent Increase = (12,000 / 137,000) * 100
Percent Increase ≈ 0.08759124 * 100 ≈ 8.759124

Therefore, the percent increase in production is approximately 8.76%.

To find the percent increase in production, you can follow a simple formula:

Percent Increase = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100

In this case, the new value is 149,000 motorcycles, and the old value is 137,000 motorcycles. Plugging those values into the formula:

Percent Increase = ((149,000 - 137,000) / 137,000) * 100

Calculating this equation, you will get:

Percent Increase = (12,000 / 137,000) * 100

Simplifying further, you get:

Percent Increase = 0.08759124087 * 100

So, the percent increase in production is approximately 8.76 percent, not 8.75 percent.

Therefore, the correct answer is an approximately 8.76 percent increase in production.
