Indentify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease. Then find the percent of change. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary. 5 cups to 8 cups

60 % - percent of increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

0.6 x 100 =60%

In conclusion, we have a 60  percent of increase.
