Solution:
we are given that
The U.S.-based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 139,000 motorcycles this year, up from 122,000 last year.
It mean the increased production is 139,000-122,000=17000
The percentage change in production can be found using the formula as below
[tex] Percenatge \ increase=\frac{change}{Initial}*100\\ \\ \text{Substitute the values we get}\\ \\ Percenatge \ increase=\frac{17000}{122,000}*100\\ \\ \ Percenatge \ increase=13.93\\ [/tex]
Hence the percentage increase is 13.93.
Answer:
The percent increase in production from last year to this year is 13.93%.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.
Increase = This Year Number - Last Year Number
Increase=139,000-122,000
Increase=17,000
Then, divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
% increase = Increase/Last Year Number × 100.
% Increase=17,000/122,000 X100
% Increase=0.1394 X 100
% Increase = 13.93%
Note: If your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.
