Answer 1

Answer: 20% increase

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

A = old value = 110

B = new value = 132

C = percent change

C = 100*(B-A)/A

C = 100*(132-110)/110

C = 20%

The positive C value means we have a percent increase, which corresponds to the fact that A = 110 increases to B = 132.

The B-A = 132-110 = 22 portion up top indicates that the increase is 22 pounds, which when divided over 110, gets us 22/110 = 0.20 = 20%

---------------

Checking the answer:

20% of 110 = 0.20*110 = 22

She's able to lift 22 extra pounds on top of the 110 pounds she can handle previously, so she can now lift 110+22 = 132 pounds. The answer is confirmed.

Answer 2

the anwser is 20% because when you start off with 110 and get 132 you have a addition of 22 take 110+22 you get 132 then divide by 100 then you get 20% when you convert
