On Friday, Wilbert did 25 push ups in a minute. He did a couple more after a 30 second break and ended his Friday with 40 push-ups. On what day did Wilbert experience a smaller percent change of push-ups?please explain!

Answer 1

Answer:

The smaller percent change of push-ups is on Monday with 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday, the change in pushups is:

(30 - 20)/20 = 10/20 = 1/2

This represents (1/2) * 100 = 50 percent

On Friday, the change in pushups is:

(40 - 25)/25 = 15/25 = 3/5

This represents (3/5) * 100 = 60 percent

Monday is 50%

Friday is 60%

Therefore, the smaller percent change occured on Monday, with 50 percent
