Question

At a club fundraiser a group of students washed 84 cars in one weekend. The next weekend, they washed 112 cars. What was the percent increase in the nunbers of cars washed?

Answer 1

33.33%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage increase in the number of car washed is as follows;

= (Number of cars washed in next weekend - number of cars washed in one weekend) ÷ (number of cars washed in one weekend)

= (112 cars - 84 cars) ÷ (84 cars)

= 28 cars ÷ 84 cars

= 33.33%
