Question

Evelyn really wanted to improve her grade in reading class. She attended

tutorials and completed all her assignments. She was able to raise her grade
from a 65 to an 88. What is the percent of change in Evelyn's grade? Round to
the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

Answer: 35% increase to the nearest whole percent

Explanation:

65 / 100 = 0.65

0.65 x 135 = 87.75

135 - 100 = 35

or

88 / 65 = 1.35384615385......

100 x 1.35384615385 = 135....

135... - 100 = approximately 35
