Answer 1

Yes, it is a 25% increase.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we use a few key steps.

1. Find the difference in 60 - 48. That equals 12.

2. Divide 12 by 48.

12/48 = 6/24 = 3/12 = 1/4.

1/4 is 0.25.

4. Convert that decimal to a percent.

Move the decimal points 2 digits to the right to get 25% as your final answer
