Question

A school team won 6 games this year against 4 games won last year. What is the percent increase

Answer 1

The increase in the number of wins (or amount of change) = 6 – 4 = 2.

Percentage increase = `"Amount of change"/"Original amount or base" xx 100`

= `"Increase in the number of wins"/"Original amount of wins" xx 100`

= `2/4 xx 100 = 50`.
