1960 – 319
1970 – 1,577
1980 – 1,034
1990 – 1.082
2000 – 1,741

By what percent did the daily offshore oil production (The numbers) increase from 1960 to 2000. Round to tenths

Please tell me HOW you got the answer as well
I am studying, and this isn’t homework, I’m in college, and trying to do a study guide for a test. The book says the answer is 445.8, but i’m not sure how to get that is the problem

Your book should tell you how to get the answer.

2000-1960= x

x/1960=y x 100= %

——-

1741-319=1422

1422/319= 4.46 x100= 445.77%

——-

Check your work:

4.46*319=1422.8, which is approximately the difference.

Hope this helps.

   319 is 100%.
   Divide the max number by the 100% (so 1741/319) = 5.46 (2dp)
   multiply the answer by 100, and you get 546%.
   rounded to the nearest 10 is 550%. The daily offshore oil production increased by 550% from 1960 – 2000. can also be written as the fraction 55/10.
