Answer 1

Answer:

B. 7.3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial average grade = 82

Final average grade = 88

Duration for the increase = 3 weeks

Therefore, increase in average grade = Final - Initial = 88 - 82 = 6

Now, percent increase in average grade is given as:

$\% \textrm{increase}=\frac{\textrm{Increase}}{\textrm{Initial grade}}\times 100\\\% \textrm{increase}=\frac{6}{82}\times 100\\\% \textrm{increase}=\frac{600}{82}=7.3\%$

Therefore, the percent increase in her  average grade over the 3-week  period is 7.3 %.
