Answer: 2.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage increase is calculated by :
% increase = [tex]\frac{increase}{Actual value}[/tex] x 100
The increase = 255 - 248
= 7
Therefore :
% increase = 7 / 248 x 100
% increase = 700/248
% increase = 2.822580645
To the nearest tenth , we have
% increase = 2.8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the percent of increase:
248×[1+(x/100)] = 255
⇔ [1+(x/100)] = 255/248
⇔ [1+(x/100)] = 1.028225806452
⇔ (x/100) = 1.028225806452 − 1 = 0.028225806452
⇔ x/100 = 0.028225806452
⇔ x = 0.028225806452×100 = 2.8225806452
Then x ≈ 2.8.
