there were 16 bald eagles in an area. some years later, there are 28 bald eagles in the area. what is the percent change? ?%
Answer
# Answer:
75%
# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the amount of change
$28 - 16=12$
## Step2: Use percent - change formula
Percent change=$\frac{\text{amount of change}}{\text{original amount}}\times100\%$
Percent change =$\frac{12}{16}\times100\%$
## Step3: Simplify the fraction and calculate
$\frac{12}{16}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$
$0.75\times100\% = 75\%$
