Answer 1

Given :

• A school team won 10 games this year against four games last year.

To find :

• What is the percent increase?

Using formula :

★ Increase percentage = Increase number/Previous number × 100.

Calculations :

→ Increase percentage = 10 - 4/4 × 100

→ Increase percentage = 6/4 × 100

→ Increase percentage = 1.5 × 100

→ Increase percentage = 150%

Therefore, 150% is the increase percentage.
