Answer 1

=17.816092 %

Explanation:

To find the percent increase, we use the formula

percent increase= (new - original)/ original * 100 %

The new score is 205

The original score is 174

Substitute these value into the equation

percent increase = (205-174)/174 * 100%

= 31/174 * 100%

= .17816092 * 100 %

=17.816092 %

Answer 2

17.8109195%

Explanation:

First step is to find the score increase. We do this by subtracting the original from the new. Lets x equal the score increase.

x=205-174

Subtract the 2 numbers

x=31

The score increase is 31

Now we need to divide the score increase by the original score. Let y equal the result of this process.

y=31/174

Divide

y=.1781609195

This is the decimal form of the increase.

To find the percent, multiply this by 100. Let z equal this

.1781609195*100=z

z=17.8109195

The percent increase is 17.8109195%
