Answer 4

Hint:
Example:
I ate 20 cookies yesterday. Today I ate 30.
What is the percentage of cookies I ate today compared to what I ate yesterday?

First we find the base value which is considered 100%.
Question says "compared to what I ate yesterday", so what I ate yesterday (20) is the base percent of 100%.

After that, we form a proportion in fraction form, let x=percentage I ate today "compared to yesterday".
\( \dfrac{\#cookies~today}{\#cookies~yesterday}=\dfrac{x}{100\%} \)
Now you can solve for x after substituting the number of cookies.
\( \dfrac{30}{20}=\dfrac{x}{100\%} \)
Cross multiply to get
\(x=\dfrac{30}{20}*100\% =150\%\)
