Question

The amount of paper that the copy shop used this month was a 25% increase of the amount of paper they used last month. What percent represents the amount of paper used this month? *

Answer 1

You didn't include any image here, but numerically, the amount of paper consumed this month is 125% compared to last month.

If last month's consumption is represented by 4 equal shapes, then the current month's consumption will be 5 shapes.

If last month's consumption is represented by 8 equal shapes, then the current month's consumption will be 10 shapes.

this pattern keeps repeating.
