<h3>Answer:  4.60%</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

We'll ignore the year numbers (2010 and 2016).

The difference in time values is 25-23.9 = 1.1 minutes

Divide this over the first time value to get (1.1)/(23.9) = 0.046025

Moving the decimal point over to the right 2 spots gets us 4.6025% which then rounds to 4.60% when rounding to two decimal places.

-----------------

As a way to verify the answer:

4.60% of 23.9 = 0.046*23.9 = 1.0994

Increasing by 4.60% means the time value has increased by roughly 1.0994 minutes. So we go from 23.9 to 23.9+1.0994 = 24.9994 which is fairly close to 25 minutes. There's a bit of rounding error, but we have effectively confirmed the answer.

Answer:

6% of the changes were from incorrect to​ incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the percentages must be 100%.

We have these following percentages

65​% of the changes were from incorrect answers to correct

29​% were from correct to incorrect

P% were from incorrect to incorrect

So

65 + 29 + P = 100

P = 100 - 94

P = 6
