Alright! So to solve these questions, you need to find out the difference. You can use ratios to solve this. For example, question #25:

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

The question is basically asking how much 5 is in ratio to 30. So just divide 5 (the given amount) by 30 (the total amount). The answer is 0.16, or 16%

Make up this problem yourself 3 divided by 1/2

Answer:

3 : (1/2) = $\frac{6}{1} =6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide: 3 : $\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{1} *\frac{2}{1} =\frac{3 * 2}{1*1} =\frac{6}{1} =6$

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{2}{1}$ ) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.
