|2.29-2.09|= .20 Then cross multiply the .20 over 2.29 and x over 100 Then you will divide the 20 and the 2.29 getting an answer of 8.7%

|2.29-2.09| =$0.20. And then you set up your proportion: 20/2.29=%/100. Then cross multiply. Then you'll get 2.29x=2,000. Then you divide 2,000 by 2.29 & that's your answer.

Subtract 2.29 by 2.09 and you get 0.2. Make .2 a percent then cross multiply and divide 20.00 by 2.29.
