Question

An employee’s time at work increased from 32 hours per week to 40 hours per week. By what percentage did the time at work per week increase?

Answer 1

25% I think that’s the answer I don’t really know

Answer 2

25%

Explanation:

The formula for finding change over time

P= N-O/O times 100

P= percent

N= new value (for this problem 40)

O= old value (for this problem 32)

100 to get the percentage

First, subtract 32 from 40 to get 8.

Then, divide 8 by 32 to get 0.25

Lastly multiply by 100 to get 25 which is your percentage of change
