Marlye posted a story on her blog. On the first day there were 80 responses and on the second day there were 180 responses. What percent is the increase, 100, of the original number of responses, 80?

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In our problem, 100 is a certain percent of 80. When talking about percents, the word "is" means equals. Let's represent our certain percent with p and solve for it.

100=80p

Let's flip the equation around so p is on the left side.

80p=100

We divide both sides by 80.

p=1.25

As a percent, the increase is 125%.

Have a wonderful day!

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
