In athletic competition, the record jump in the pole vault was 6.75 Meters. An athlete set a
new record jump of 8.5 meters. What percentage of the old record is the difference between
the two records? Correct your answer to 2 decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

If 6.75 meters represents 100%, which percentage would represents 8.5 meters? (we use the rule of three).

Then, we subtract 125.96% - 100% = 25.96%

Therefore, the percentage between the two records is 25.96%

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we can see that

denominators of both terms are 3p+1

So, both has same denominators

so, we can combine numerators

and we get

now, we can combine like terms

now, we can factor out common term

we can see that 3p+1 is on both top and bottom

so, we can cancel it

and we get
