A school team won `6` games this year against `4` games won last year. What is the per cent increase?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The increase in the number of wins (or amount of change) `= 6 – 4 = 2`.
`"Percentage increase"` `= "amount of change"/ "original amount or base" xx 100`
`= "increase in the number of wins" /"original number of wins" xx 100 = 2/4 xx 100 = 50`
