Question

Last month, Bethany sent 5,450 texts. This month she sent 7,085 texts. What was the percent increase in her texting from last month to this month?

Answer 1

Hello

The answer is 30% increase in texts since last month.

IF you feel any problem in understanding , do comment pls.

Explanation:

Let

X = last month sent texts

y = this month sent texts

First of all find the no. of increased texts,

by subtracting x from y

=> y-x= 7085- 5450

= 1635

We want to find these 15 texts % with respect to 5450 texts

i.e. 1635/X

=0.30

for answer in % multiply with 100

i.e. 30%
