Question

At its first meeting, the math club had 16 students attend. At its second meeting, 25 students attended. What was the percent of increase?

Answer 1

First, subtract 16 to 25:

25 - 16 = 9

next, calculate the associated percentage of 9 to 16, as follow:

(9/16)(100) = 56.25

Hence, the increase was of 56.25%
