Step 1
Since the end amount is greater than the original amount, it is, therefore, percentage increase
Step 2
Calculate the percentage increase
The formula is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage increase =}\frac{Increase}{\text{Original}}\times100 \\ \text{Increase}=\text{ }45\text{ - 30 = 15} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\text{Percentage increase =}\frac{15}{30}\times100=\text{ 50 percent}[/tex]The answer is therefore 50%
