From 80 pencils to 152 pencils find the increased percent

Hey there!

Let x = percent increase Set an equation to show percent increase. 80 + 80x = 152  Subtract 80 on both sides of equation. 80x = 72  Divide both sides of the equation by 80. x = 0.9  Multiply this number by 100 to get the actual value of percent. x = 0.9 * 100x = 90 The percent increase is 90%

Hope this helps!
