Question

Last week, Deion ran a total of 32 miles. This week, he increased running distance by 6.4 miles. By what percentage did he increase the distance he ran?A. 10%B. 6% C. 20%D. 25%

Answer 1

Last week run distance = 32 miles

Increased amount this week = 6.4 miles

We have to find the percentage of increase.

Thus, we divide the increase (which is 6.4) by the original length he ran last week (which is 32).

Then,

We multiply the answer by 100.

Let's do this:

`(6.4)/(32)=0.2`

Now,

`0.2*100=20`

The answer is 20%

Answer: C
