In 1967, a
30-second Super Bowl commercial cost $40,000. 
In 2000, a 30-second commercial cost $1,800,000.  What was the percent of change in the cost of
a commercial?







Sagot :

($1,800,000 - $40,000)/$40,000*100

($1,760,000)/$40,000*100

44*100

4400% change

Answer:

The percent of change in the cost of  a commercial is 4400%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1967, a  30-second Super Bowl commercial cost $40,000 i.e the initial cost was $40000

In 2000, a 30-second commercial cost $1,800,000 i.e the final cost was $1800000

We know that,

[tex]\text{Percentage change}=\dfrac{\text{Final Value - Initial Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{\text{1800000 - 40000}}{\text{4000}}\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{\text{1760000}}{\text{4000}}\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]=44\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]=4400\%[/tex]

Therefore, the percent of change in the cost of  a commercial is 4400%
