Answer 17

it is C

Answer 18

why is it C Liam?

Answer 19

I don't know about the 55% because it said increase and I did the same I did for decrease

Answer 20

since it is increase and that there is a 122% from 1250 to 2780 and I proudly tell you that it is increase not decrease making 55% incorrect

Answer 21

it is 122% more than 1250

Answer 22

it would be 222% of 1250 but since it is increase it is different

Answer 23

you subtract 100% and also it is 122% more than 1250

Answer 35

it is what percent increase is 1250 to 2780 meaning what number were you to add to get to 2780 and what percent of 1250 would it be?
