Question

A company starts to track the number of phone calls recived each month. Infromation about the number of phone calls the company recived the first three months of tracking is listed below.

-During the first month, the company recieved 4,264 phone calls.
-during the second months, the company recieved 25% more phone calls than in the first month.
-during the third month, the company recived 6,396 phone calls
What was the percent in crease in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month?

Answer 1

The number of phone calls received in the second month is 25% more than the first month, which means:

Number of phone calls in second month = 1.25 x 4,264 = 5,330

To find the percent increase from the second month to the third month, we can use the percent increase formula:

Percent increase = (New value - Old value) / Old value x 100%

Using this formula, the percent increase from the second month to the third month is:

Percent increase = (6,396 - 5,330) / 5,330 x 100%

= 20%

Therefore, the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month is 20%.
