Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of week 1,

Billie has collected 528 signatures.

This is 44% of the number of signatures she needs.

signatures does Billie need to collect  =

According to this information 528 is the 44 % of the total

to find total = 528 /44 × 100

= 1200

At the end of week 2,

Billie has a new total of 704 signatures.

The percent did the number of Billie's signatures increase over the week -

If total is 704, then the 44% of 704 is

704 × 44 /100

= 309

The percent of increases over 2nd week

528 + 309 = 837

837 /1200 × 1200

69.75 %

So the increases percent 2nd week

69.75 - 44

= 25 .75 %
