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

20%

Explanation:

Subtract the original number from the new number: 90-75=15

The increase is 15

Now divide the increase by the original number: 15/75=.20

Then multiply your answer by 100: .20x100=20
