Question

This year the hawks won 20 games. Last year the hawks won 16 games. What is the percent increse in the number of games the hawks won from last year to this year

Answer 1

25% increase

Explanation:

To find the percent increase write a proportion:

`(20)/(16)=(x)/(100)`

Then solve for x by cross multiplying numerator with denominator of each fraction:

20(100) = 16(x)

2000=16x

125 = x

This means from 100% then 125% is 25% increase.
