The u. s- based motorcycle manufacturer says that it expects to build 146,000 motorcycles this year , up from 128,000 last year . find the percent of increase in production

14.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are asked to find the percent increase in the production of the motorcycle for US based manufacturer.

The production for the last year = 128,000

The production for the current year = 146,000

Total increased production = 146,000-128,000

= 18,000

Hence percentage calculation = %

Increased percentage = %

Increased percentage = %

= %

=14.06%

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
