If you carried a ball 50.5 yards at the first half of a game . By the end of the game you carried the ball for a total of 75 yards. Find the percentage of increase

percentage of increase = 49%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage change for any value is given by

percentage change = (new value - old value)/old value * 100 %

If there is increase in new value, percentage change can be called as percentage increase.

If there is decrease in new value, percentage change can be called as decrease increase.

Distance covered in first half of game = 50.5 yards

Distance covered in first full game = 75 yards

percentage of increase = (Distance covered in first full game - Distance covered in first half of game)/Distance covered in first half of game * 100 %

percentage of increase = (75 - 50.5)/50.5 * 100% = 24.5/50 * 100%

percentage of increase = 49%  answer
