It used to take Andie 45 seconds to swim 50 meters. Now she swims the same distance in 35 seconds. What is the percent increase in her speed rounded to the nearest whole percent.

Respuesta :

Parrain

Answer: 28.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out what her speed is:

Speed = Distance / Time

= 50 / 45

= 1.11 meters/second

Now her speed is:

= 50 / 35

= 1.43 meters/ second

The percentage increase in her speed is:

= (New speed - Old speed) / Old speed

= (1.43 - 1.11) / 1.11

= 0.288

= 28.8%
