Question

Irina needs to increase the number of reps when she is lifting weights. She is already doing three sets of 8 reps, and she needs to increase her reps by 25%. How many reps in each set should Irina do?

Answer 1

she wants to increase the reps by 25%. currently she does 8 per set. therefore, simply calculate 25% of 8 (0.25 * 8) and add this onto the original 8 to get the new rep count.
