Question

Luis scored 15 goals last season. This season he scored 22. What is his percent increase?

Answer 1

46.7%

Explanation:

Percent Increase formula

`\sf Percent\:increase=(final\:value-initial\:value)/(initial\:value) * 100`

Given:

• Initial value = 15 goals
• Final value = 22 goals

Substitute the given values into the formula:

`\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Percent\:increase &=(22-15)/(15) * 100\\\\& = (7)/(15) * 100\\\\&=0.466666...* 100\\\\&=46.6666...\%\\\\&=46.7\%\; \sf (nearest\; tenth)\end{aligned}`

Therefore, Luis' percent increase is 46.7% (nearest tenth).
