Question

at the beginning of the year the price of a gallon of milk was $2.60. now it costs $3.77. what is the percent change? ?%

Explanation:

Step1: Find the change in price

Subtract the initial price from the new price: $3.77 - 2.60 = 1.17$

Step2: Calculate percent change

Use the formula $\text{Percent Change} = \frac{\text{Change}}{\text{Original}} \times 100\%$. So, $\frac{1.17}{2.60} \times 100\% = 0.45 \times 100\% = 45\%$

Answer:

45
