Answer:
Percent increase = 18%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find increase in percentage we apply below formula
[tex]Increase \ percentage = \frac{new \ value - initial \ value}{initial \ value}[/tex]
Initial value = 85
new value = 100
[tex]Increase \ percentage = \frac{100 - 85}{85}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{85}=0.176470588[/tex]
To get percentage we multiply by 100
0.176470588 * 100 = 17.6470588
So percent increase is approximately 18%
