Question

during summer vacation sam read 10 pages per night once he returned to school he averaged 15 pages per night what is the percent of increase in sams reading ?(sorry no punctuation I'm in a rush )

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

given

original number of pages = 10

new number of pages = 15

hence increase in number of pages

= new number - original number

= 15 - 10

= 5 pages

by definition, the percentage increase

= ( increase in number / original number ) x 100%

= (5/10) x 100%

= 50%
