Verified Answer :

Ematio

It has increased by 140 percent.

Answer:

We have to find the percent of change :

10 gallons to 24 gallons.

Original amount = 10 gallons

Final amount= 24 gallons.

Change in amount = 24 - 10 = 14 gallons.

then;

\(\text{Percent change} = \frac{\text{change in amount}}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\)

Substitute the given values we have;

\(\text{Percent change} = \frac{14}{10} \times 100\)

Simplify:

\(\text{Percent change} = 140\%\)

Therefore, percent of change is, 140%
