Question

Noah, an NFL running back, rushed for an average of 68 yards per game last season. This season, his average is 119 yards per game. What is the percent of increase in Noah's average? %

Answer 1

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Last Season = 68 yards per game.

Average This Season = 119 yards per game.

To find the percent of the increase in Noah's average, we use the formula:

`\text{Percent Increase=}\frac{Final\; \text{Value}-\text{Initial Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}*100`

Substituting the given values, we have:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percent Increase=}(119-68)/(68)*100 \\ =(51)/(68)*100 \\ =0.75*100 \\ =75\% \end{gathered}`

The percent of the increase in Noah's average is 75%.
