Given the statement:

Karl’s bowling score went from 174 to 205.

Determine the percent of increase.

Solution:

In order to determine the percent of increase, we must first subtract 174 to 205. Then we divide the difference by 174.

= 205 - 174

=31

= 31/174

= 0.1782

Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.

= (0.1782)(100)

=17.82%

Final answer:
The percent of increase is 17.82%
