A girl’s club held a fundraiser last year and raised $600 for the local soup kitchen. This year they raised $960. What is the percent change in the total amount raised by the girl’s club?

The amount raised increased by $960 − $600 = $360. Divide the increase by last year’s amount: $360 ÷ $600 = 0.6. Converting 0.6 to a percent gives 60%, so the correct choice is “The percent change is 60%.”
