Question

A class had 30 pupils at the beginning of this school term, but now has 5 more pupils. What is the percent of increase?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation would be :

5 is what percent of 30?

So you would end up with

30x=500

you divide 30 on each side to get $16.6$ or 17%

Answer 2

5/30=x/100
1/6=x/100
100=6x
16 2/3=x
16 2/3%
