Answer:

<u>39 percent</u> is increase in mileage.

Thus, the correct option is B. 39%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A runner increased her distance from 9 miles to 12.5 miles a week.

Now, to find percent increase in mileage.

Previous mileage = 9 miles.

Present mileage = 12.5 miles.

<em>Mileage increase = 12.5 - 9 = 3.5 miles.</em>

Now, to get the percent increase in mileage:

\frac{Mileage\ increased}{previous\ mileage} \times 100

=\frac{3.5}{9} \times 100

=\frac{350}{9}

=38.88\%.

<u><em>Approximately the percent increase = 39%.</em></u>

Therefore, 39% is increase in mileage.

Thus, the correct option is B. 39%.
