If C = 1200 and D = 1500, then D is how much percent more than C?

Options

A. 20
B. 33.33
C. 25
D. 125

Answer

To find out how much percent D (1500) is more than C (1200), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Find the difference between D and C
First, we need to calculate how much more D is than C. This is done by subtracting C from D.

\[ \text{Difference} = D - C = 1500 - 1200 = 300 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the percentage increase
Next, we need to find out what percentage this difference (300) is of C (1200). The formula to calculate the percentage increase is:

\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{C} \right) \times 100 \]

Substituting the values we have:

\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{300}{1200} \right) \times 100 \]

### Step 3: Simplify the fraction
Now, we simplify the fraction:

\[ \frac{300}{1200} = \frac{1}{4} \]

### Step 4: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage
Now, we multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage:

\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, D is 25% more than C.
