Question

Bam scored 12 points per game last year. This year he scores 19 points per game. By what percent did his point production change?

Answer 1

`\%Change = 58.33\%`

Explanation:

Given

`Initial = 12`

`Final = 19`

Required

Determine the percentage change

Percentage change is calculated as thus:

`\%Change = (|FInal - Initial|)/(Initial) * 100\%`

`\%Change = (|19 - 12|)/(12) * 100\%`

`\%Change = (|7|)/(12) * 100\%`

`\%Change = (7)/(12) * 100\%`

`\%Change = (7* 100\%)/(12)`

`\%Change = (700\%)/(12)`

`\%Change = 58.33\%`
