Question

A company starts to track the number of phone calls received each month.Information about the number of phone calls the company received the first three months of tracking is listed below.

-During the first month,the company received 4,265 phone calls.
-During the second month,the company received 25% more phone calls than in the first month.
-During the third month,the company received 6,396 phone calls

What was the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

Number of phone calls received second month = 4265 + 25% of 4265

= 4265 + 0.25 * 4265

= 4265 ( 1 + 0.25)

= 4265 * 1.25

= 5331.25

Number of calls in third month = 6396

Increased calls than second month = 6396 - 5331.25

= 1034.75

`Increased \ percentage = (Increased \ calls)/(second \ month \ calls)*100`

`=(1064.75)/(5331.25)*100\\\\=19.97 \%\\\\= 20\%`
