Question

Matt increased his typing speed from 32 to 38 words per minute. What is the percent of increase

Answer 1

Matt's typing speed increased by 18.75%.

Explanation:

To find the percent increase, we can use the following formula:

percent increase = (new value - old value) / old value x 100%

Using this formula, we can calculate the percent increase in Matt's typing speed as follows:

percent increase = (38 - 32) / 32 x 100%

percent increase = 6 / 32 x 100%

percent increase = 0.1875 x 100%

percent increase = 18.75%
