What is the percent increase from 241 to 2008?
First, what is the increase from 241 to 2008?
2008 - 241 = 1767
Now that we know the actual increase (1767) we can ask about the percent increase. We want to compare the increase (1767) to the original amount (241).
1767 is what percent of 241?
"is" means =
"what" means x
"percent" means /100
"of" means *
1767 = x/100 * 241
1767 = x * 2.41
x = 1767 / 2.41
x = about 733.2
Answer: There is an (about) 733.2% increase from 241 to 2008.
