Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that  Jake is 25 years old. Next year, he'll be 26 years old.

To find the percentage increase in Jake's age from last year, we will use percentage decrease formula as our original value is less than new value.

\text{Percentage decrease}=\frac{\text{Original-New}}{\text{Original}}*100

Now let us substitute our given values in above formula.

\text{Percentage decrease in Jake's age from last year}=\frac{25-26}{25}*100  

\text{Percentage decrease in Jake's age from last year}=\frac{-1}{25}*100  

\text{Percentage decrease in Jake's age from last year}=-1*4=-4  

Since our answer is a negative number then this is a percentage increase.

Therefore, there is 4% increase in Jake's age from last year.

Answer:

4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

initial age of Jake = 25 years

Final age of Jake = 26 years

Increase in Jake age = final age of Jake - initial age of Jake = 26 - 25 = 1 year

Percentage increase in the Jake's age

= increase in Jake's age / initial age x 100

= \frac{1}{25}\times 100%

= 4 %

Thus, the age of Jake is increased by 4%.
