A student improved his score from 70 to 84 in a test. What is the percentage increase in his score?
Correct Answer: 20%
  • Step 1: Identify the original score, which is 70.
  • Step 2: Identify the new score, which is 84.
  • Step 3: Calculate the difference between the new score and the original score: 84 - 70 = 14.
  • Step 4: Divide the difference by the original score: 14 / 70.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result of the division: 14 / 70 = 0.2.
  • Step 6: Convert the result to a percentage by multiplying by 100: 0.2 * 100 = 20%.
  • Step 7: The percentage increase in the score is 20%.
  • Percentage Increase – The calculation of how much a value has increased in relation to its original value, expressed as a percentage.
