Last month, Jenny’s math test score was 75.
This month, her math test score is 93.
What percent of last month’s score is this month’s score?
75%2B%28x%2F100%2975=93
75x%2F100=93-75
75x%2F100=18
75x=1800
x=1800%2F75
x=24
means, to 100% of the last month score (which is 75 ) is added 24% of it (which is 75%2A0.24=18 ) to get this month score
75%2B18=93
so, 100%2B24=124% of last month’s score is this month’s score
check:
%28124%2F100%2975=93
1.24%2A75=93
93=93
