Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A student improved his score from 70 to 85 in a subject. What is the percentage increase in his score?
Correct Answer: 21.43%
  • Step 1: Identify the original score, which is 70.
  • Step 2: Identify the new score, which is 85.
  • Step 3: Calculate the difference between the new score and the original score: 85 - 70 = 15.
  • Step 4: Divide the difference by the original score: 15 / 70.
  • Step 5: Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: (15 / 70) * 100.
  • Step 6: Calculate the final result: 15 / 70 = 0.2143, then 0.2143 * 100 = 21.43%.
  • Percentage Increase – The calculation of how much a value has increased in relation to its original value, expressed as a percentage.
