comments on a new song they released.
the next day, the artist performed the song
on television and an additional 1,500
comments were made on the website. what
was the percent of increase? (example 1)

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to calculate the percent of increase between two numbers, you have to divide the increase by the initial number and multiply by 100:

Increase= 1,500

Initial number=5,000

Percent of increase=(1,500/5,000)*100

Percent of increase=0.3*100

Percent of increase=30%

According to this, the answer is that the percent of increase was 30%.
