Jeremiah · Answer 1

18 stamp increase

15 % increase

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the increase in number, we take the number of stamps in march and subtract the stamps in october

128-120 = 18

To find the percent increase, we take the number of stamps that we gained over the original amount of stamps * 100%

percent increase = 18/120 * 100%

.15 * 100%

15% increase
