14. The Lions won 16 games last year. This year the Lions won 20 games. What is the percent increase in the number of games the Lions won from last year to this year?

Sagot :

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percent of change you divide like this:

[tex]\frac{20-16}{16}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{4}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

To turn it to a percent, multiply the fraction by a number that will turn the denominator into 100:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{25}{25}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex] = 25%
