Question

Amanda increased the amount of protein she eats every day from 48g to 54g. By what percentage did Amanda increase the amount of protein she eats? 11.1%

Answer 1

12.5%

Explanation:

Previous grams of protein = 48g

Present grams of protein = 54g

By what percentage did Amanda increase the amount of protein she eats?

Percentage increase in the amount of protein = (present grams - previous grams) / previous grams × 100

= (54g - 48g) / 48g × 100

= 6g/48g × 100

= 1/8 × 100

= 0.125 × 100

= 12.5%

Percentage increase in the amount of protein = 12.5%
