In January Caleb could do 12 pushups. In May Caleb could do 15 pushups. By what percent did he increase the number of pushups he could do?

So in January he could do 12 pushups..
4 months later, he could do 3 more..
A total of 15 in 4 months would make a 25% increase with 6.25% every month as 3 pushups represent 1/4 of the 12 he used to do
