Percent Increase


1. The problem is to find the percent of increase when given the increase amount ₱30 relative to the original amount ₱. 2. The formula for percent of increase is $\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Amount}} \times 100\%$ 3. Here, the increase is ₱30, so substituting into the formula we get $$\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{30}{p} \times 100\% = \frac{3000}{p}\%$$ 4. This means the percent increase depends on the original amount ₱, and is equal to $\frac{3000}{p}$ percent. The percent of increase is $\frac{3000}{p}\%$.
