Question

Litas softball team won 8 games last month and 10 this month, what was the percent change in game the team won? Was it an increase or decrease?

Answer 1

25% and is an increase

Explanation:

Games won last month=eight games

Games won this month=ten games

Change in the number of games won=This month- Last month=10-8= 2 games

Percentage change in games won=100*change/original games

Numerical percentage change=100*2/8=25%

This is a positive change hence an increase.

Therefore, percentage change in game the team won is 25% and is an increase
