$65.09 is 70% greater than the average price 2009-04-11
From Kelly:
Hello! I know you might be thinking that I didn't look through your previous answers, but I really did. Here's my dilemma- I have a percent increase equation that is missing the 'old" value. I know that $65.09 is 70% greater than the average price, but I do not know the average price. How do I go about finding that? I tried to set up an equation, but its throwing me off because the unknown variable is in there twice, and it's been a long time since I've taken math
Thank you for your help...greatly!

Annual percent growth 2008-12-13
From Joe:
If Wall-Mart had sales of $58,200,000,000 in the year 2002 and $90,800,000,000 in the year 2006.

1. Find what percent that increase is of the 2002 sales? I came up with (9.08*10^10 - 5.82*10^10) / 5.82*10^10 * 100 = 56.01% increase. Is this correct?

2. What was the percent GROWTH in Wal-Mart's sales from 2002-2006? I am having trouble figuring out how to do the Growth problem. I would appreciate any help.
