Percentage of the difference between 165 and 200

[FrillyPancake]

Neice has homework. What is the best way to fathom this equation out? My brain has switched off thinking about this too much.......

Need to know what the % between 165 and 200 is.

Thanks folks!

[McMouse]

Is it the % of 165 or 200?

[Old_Geezer]

Assuming one starts with the 165 as the 100%.

The difference is +35. 35/165 = +21.21212121212121%

Is that what you were asking ?

[sandyRoe]

do you mean what % is the 35? it's 17.5 %

[FrillyPancake]

35 difference what percentage?

[factor-fiction]

The question is ambiguous but if you mean what percentage increase is it to move from 165 to 200 then the answer is 35 x100/165 = 21.12%

[FrillyPancake]

farmer a has 165 apples, farmer b has 200 apples. What percentage increase has farmer b got compared to farmer a?

[factor-fiction]

if you want to work out the decrease though from 200 to 165 it is 35x100/200 =17.5% as sandyRoe says

[Svejk]

17.5%. I'm no expert, mind.
But I think if it's 35 over 200.

[Davethedog]

Is that the entire question?
200-165 is 35. 35 as a percentage of 200 is 17.5% however 35 as percentage of 165 is 21.21% recuring

[factor-fiction]

21.121212% then

[Davethedog]

How slow am I :-)

[FrillyPancake]

Thanks folks!

[TobyLaRhone]

It's 17.5% of 200
It's 21.21% of 165 (.21 recurring)

[TobyLaRhone]

Not as slow as me it seems Dave
:)

[Svejk]

I bet that was the most Ans. In the shortest time.

Percentage increase is the actual increase divided by the lower figure, then times 100. Percentage decrease is the actual decrease divided by the higher number, then times 100.

so you need to know, frilly, whether your neice is looking for percentage increase or decrease....
