Question

During two games, the number of points scored by a basketball team increased from 75 to 87. By what percentage did the number of points scored increase?

A - 12%
B - 14%
C - 86%
D - 16%​

Answer 1

D - 16%

Explanation:

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

percent change = (87 - 75)/75 * 100%

percent change = 12/75 * 100%

percent change = 4/25 * 100%

percent change = 16%

Answer: D - 16%
