What is the percent change from 215 to 372? Also add if it is an increase or decrease.

So assume that 215 is 100% and 372 is x%

it is an incease becase 215 is less than 372 so

215=100

372=x

so therefor

215/100=372/x

solve for x

multiply both sides by x/372

(43x) / 7440=1

multiply both sides by 7440

43x=7440

divide both sides by 43

x=173.02

so it increased from 100 to 173.02 so find the change by subtracting 100 from 173.02

173.02-100=73.02

the change is 73.02%
