The FAA now figures the average checked bag to weigh 19 pounds. This is up from a previous figure of 10 pounds. Find the amount of increase and the percent of increase. Round your answer to the nearest percent as needed. Amount increase: pounds Percent of increase: %

Respuesta :

Previous figure = 10 pounds

Current figure = 19 pounds

Amount of increase = 19 - 10 = 9 pounds.

Percentage of increase = [tex]\frac{9}{10}(100)[/tex]

= 90%
