Question

Dwayne improved his score on Commander

Quest from 65,720 to 88,722. By what percent
did his score increase?

Answer 1

35%

Explanation:

What was the numerical difference?

88722 - 65720 = 23002

Which number is the denominator for the % increase?

It must be 65720.

23002/ 65720 * 100 = 35%

So if we take 35% of 65720 and add it on to 65720 what do we get.

35/100 * 65720 + 65720 = 88722 just as we should.
