Question

Due to delays a company had to extend a project from 28 days to 76 days. What was the percentage increase in time to complete the project. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:
`171.4\%`

Explanation:

Given

Time is extended from 28 days to 76 days

The percentage increase is given by

`\Rightarrow \frac{\text{New-original value}}{\text{original value}}* 100`

Putting values

`\Rightarrow (76-28)/(28)* 100=(48)/(28)* 100\\\\\Rightarrow 171.4\%`

Thus, the percentage increase in time is
`171.4\%`
