Q. Last year, a gardening store ordered 820,540820,540 potted plants. This year, they ordered 1,517,9991,517,999 potted plants. What is the percent of increase in the number of potted plants ordered annually?\newline____%\_\_\_\_\%
  1. Calculate Difference in Orders: Calculate the difference in the number of potted plants ordered between the two years.\newlineLast year's orders: 820,540820,540 potted plants\newlineThis year's orders: 1,517,9991,517,999 potted plants\newlineDifference = 1,517,999820,540=697,4591,517,999 - 820,540 = 697,459 potted plants
  2. Calculate Percentage Increase: Calculate the percentage increase based on last year's orders.\newlinePercentage increase = (Difference/Last year’s orders)×100%(\text{Difference} / \text{Last year's orders}) \times 100\%\newline= (697,459/820,540)×100%(697,459 / 820,540) \times 100\%\newline= 0.85×100%0.85 \times 100\%\newline= 85%85\%
