Question

find the percent of change from June to September in the time to run a mile (the June time is 7:45 and the September time is 5:51)

Answer 1

Answer: 24.52%

Step-by-step explanation: Convert times into decimals by dividing the seconds by 60. (7:45 = 7.75 | 5:51 = 5.85) Subtract 7.75 and 5.85 which equals 1.9

1.9/7.75 = 0.2451612903

Rounded to 0.2452 = 24.52%

Answer 2

74% change

Explanation:

Percentage is the fraction between two values usually the obtained value against the total obtainable value and multiply by 100.

% change = (value in September / value in july) * 100

% change = (5.51 / 7.45) * 100

% change = 0.7395 * 100

% change = 74%
