Answer 1

Answer: 5%

Explanation:

In 2006, there were 160 teachers in College A, and ¾ of them had their own vehicles, the number of people who had their own vehicles will be:

= 3/4 × 160

= 120

In 2007, 20 new teachers came to the school and 6 of them had own vehicles. This means the number if people with vehicles will be:

= 120 + 6

= 126

The percentage increase will be:

= Increase / Old vehicle owners × 100

= 6/120 × 100

= 1/20 × 100

= 5%

The Percentage increase is 5%.
