Ashe went from 160 pounds to 180 pounds once he started a weight-training program at his gym. What was Ashe's percent increase in weight?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actual increase is 20 then take \(\frac{20}{160}=\frac{1}{8}\) and write as a decimal then as a percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180 -160 /160 x 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont under sand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you can use a calculator, type in \(20\div 160\) you will get \(.125\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then move the decimal two places left to get the percent. it is \(12.5\%\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry that was "two places right"
