Percent change of 88%
1) Consider 50 as equivalent to 100% as well as 94 to x.
50 ----------- 100%
94 ------------ x
2) Now we can set the ratios and cross multiply then:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{50}{94}=\frac{100}{x} \\ 50x=94\cdot100 \\ 50x=9400 \\ \frac{50x}{50}=\frac{9400}{50} \\ x=188 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]So 94 corresponds to 188%. Then we can see that there was an increase. Since 94 >50.
But we need to subtract from 100% to find out the percent change from 50 to 94.
188%-100%= 88%
3) Hence, the answer is an increase of 88%
