Question

the doctor recommended that Matt increase the number of calories you consume from 2000 to 2800 by what percent did the number of calories increase ​

Answer 1

Answer:

40% number of calories have increased

Step-by-step explanation:

Old Value ( Calories consume before)  = 2000

New Value (increase in Calories consumed) = 2800

We need to find by what percent did the number of calories increase ​

To find percent increase, the formula used is:

$Percent\: increase=\frac{New\:Value-Old\:Value}{Old\:Value}\times 100%$

Putting values in formula and finding percent increase

$Percent\: increase=\frac{New\:Value-Old\:Value}{Old\:Value}\times 100\%\:\\Percent\: increase=\frac{2800-2000}{2000}\times 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=\frac{800}{2000}\times 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=0.4\times 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=40\%$

So, 40% number of calories have increased
