Answer: Amount of change : $30

percent increase : 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

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

  • Wholesale price: $15
  • Retail price: $45

To obtain the amount of change we have to subtract the wholesale price to the retail price:

Mathematically speaking:

45 -15 = $30

For the percent increase, the amount of change (30) is some percent of the original price (15). So:

30 / 15 =2 (decimal form)

If we multiply it by 100, the percentage is:

200%
