If U = 450 and V = 585, then V is how much percentage more than U?

Options

A. 130
B. 0.96319444444444
C. 25
D. 30

Answer

To find out how much percentage V (585) is more than U (450), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the difference between V and U
We need to subtract U from V to find out how much more V is than U.

\[ \text{Difference} = V - U = 585 - 450 = 135 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the percentage increase
To find out how much percentage 135 (the difference) is of U (450), we use the formula:

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

Substituting the values we found:

\[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{135}{450} \right) \times 100 \]

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

\[ \frac{135}{450} = 0.3 \]

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

\[ 0.3 \times 100 = 30 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, V is 30% more than U.
