Answer:

20% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = 144 - 120.

Then: divide the 24 by 120 and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = 24 ÷ 120 × 100.

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

what I done was subtract 120 from 144 which will leave 24 then I find the percentage.

This makes it 3/24. When you divide the fraction out, you get 0.125. To turn that into a percentage, you simply multiply by 100. 0.125*100=12.5% you can check this by taking 12.5% of 24, which will give you an answer of 3
