Question

the doctor recommended that Matt increase the number of calories you consume from 2000 to 2800 by what percent did the number of calories increase ​

Answer 1

40% number of calories have increased

Explanation:

Old Value ( Calories consume before) = 2000

New Value (increase in Calories consumed) = 2800

We need to find by what percent did the number of calories increase ​

To find percent increase, the formula used is:

`Percent\: increase=(New\:Value-Old\:Value)/(Old\:Value)* 100%`

Putting values in formula and finding percent increase

`Percent\: increase=(New\:Value-Old\:Value)/(Old\:Value)* 100\%\:\\Percent\: increase=(2800-2000)/(2000)* 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=(800)/(2000)* 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=0.4* 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=40\%`

So, 40% number of calories have increased
