Question

Patrick had earned 125 points so far this year in math class. After the most recent assignment, Patrick now has 328 points. What was the percentage increase in points? Round your answer to the nearest​

Answer 1

Answer: 162%.

Explanation:

To find the percentage increase in points, we need to calculate the difference between the two values, divide it by the original value, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

The difference between Patrick's old score and his new score is:

328 - 125 = 203

The percentage increase is:

203/125 x 100% = 162.4%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percentage increase is 162%.
