Question

Max’s first test score was a 73. His second test score was a 96. What was his percent change? Round to the nearest whole percent of necessary.

Answer 1

To find the percent change, we need to use the formula:

percent change = (new value - old value) / old value * 100%

In this case, Max's old value is 73 and his new value is 96. So:

percent change = (96 - 73) / 73 * 100%

percent change = 23 / 73 * 100%

percent change = 0.3151 * 100%

percent change = 31.51%

Therefore, Max's percent change is 31.51%, rounded to the nearest whole percent, it is 32%.
