Find the percent of change in altitude if a weather balloon moves from 100 ft to 103 ft. Describe the percent of change as an increase or decrease. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. |
The amount of change is found by subtracting the initial location from the final location: 103 ft - 100 ft = 3 ft.
To find the percent of change, divide the amount of change by the initial amount and multiply that answer by 100: 3 ft / 100 ft x 100 = 3%. (This is an increase.)
