a company is expanding its building area from 17,500 square feet to 21,175 square feet. what is the percentage increase of the area of the building space?

Let's make an equation.

19,000x=24,320

This equation shows the percentage increase, which is x. Once we have x, we need to subtract 1 from it since in the equation the 1 shows that it's increeasing. All we need to do is divide both sides by 19,000.

24,320÷19,000

1,28-1=0.28; we need to multiply by 100 to find the increase.

0.28×100=28

So, the percentage increase is 28%.

1,918
