Question

Last month the Zimmer family had 20 chickens. This month they have 25. What is the percent increase from last month to this month?

Answer 1

Answer:25 %

Explanation:

Given

Last month count of chicken was
`20`

The current count of chicken is
`25`

The percentage increase is given by

`\Rightarrow \frac{\text{Present value-Actual value}}{\text{Actual value}}* 100`

Putting values

`\Rightarrow \%=(25-20)/(20)* 100=(5)/(20)* 100\\\\\Rightarrow \%=25\%`
