Question

(Brainliest will be given out for the CORRECT ANSWER!)

Answer 1

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of games The Pelicans won last year= 16

Number of games The Pelicans won this year= 20

PI= percentage of increase D= difference between reference year and current year

R= Reference year

$PI= D/R\\PI= (20-16)/16\\PI=4/16\\PI=1/4$

PI=1/4= 25%

Answer 2

The percent increase in the number of games the Pelicans won compared to last year is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 :

% increase = (difference between previous and new value / lower value) $\times$ 100

• Pelicans won last year = 16 games
• Pelican won this year = 20 games

step 2 :

% increase = ((20 - 16) / 16) $\times$ 100

⇒ (4 / 16) $\times$ 100

⇒ (1 / 4) $\times$ 100

⇒ 25 %

∴ The number of games the Pelicans won this year is 25% greater than the number of games compared to last year.
