Question

Bernardo originally had 48 customers on his paper route. Through a newspaper sales promotion, his customer base increased to 56. What was the percentage of increase over the original number of customers?

Answer 1

Answer: 16.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

(48 × p) / 100 = 8

((48 × p) / 100) × 100 = 8 × 100

48p = 800

48p / 48 = 800 / 48

p = 16.6666666666667

Percent Increase ≈ 16.6667
