Question

A baseball team had 75 players show up for tryouts last year and this year had 90 players show up for tryouts. Find the percent increase in players from last year to this year.

Answer 1

Answer: 33.3%

Explanation:

First find the difference between the players in try-outs over the years.

= 90 - 75

= 25

Then use this difference to find the percent increase:

= Difference / Players last years * 100%

= 25 / 75 * 100%

= 33.3%
