you are correct 75/60 = 1.25 or 125% 125% - 100% = 25% increased

25% increase would be 50% to 75%.. A 15% increase in 60% to 75%.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You're right 75 - 60 = 15

You're not supposed to ask for medals, guys. You can get in trouble for it. Same with direct answers. Don't give out direct answers.

It works in this equation
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
75 and 60 are not percentages they are whole numbers
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
subtraction will not work.
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
a 15% increase in 60 is not even 75
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
60 * 1.15 = 69

Division is the correct way to solve for it
