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 :

lets 16 games are 100% - in last year
  so 20 games are x%

make proportion and find x=20*100/16=125% - in this year
125-100%=25%
Answer: the percent increase is 25%
Use ratio and proportion 20/16= x/100 cross multiply 16x= 2000 x= 125 % therefore an increase of 25%
