Answer 1

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the fraction of speed and problem solved is 100/100

the number of problems solved increases by 60%

so now it is 160/100, also the speed increases by 25%

so now we do 160/125=1.28

finaly we do 1.28-1 = 28%

Therefore the answer is 28%.

hope this helps
