Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The initial average number of missed days per year is 2 2 .
2. The new average number of missed days per year is 3 3 .
3. We need to find the percent increase in the average number of missed days.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the increase in the number of missed days.
2. Calculate the percent increase.

STEP 3

Calculate the increase in the number of missed days by subtracting the initial average from the new average.
Increase=3−2=1\text{Increase} = 3 - 2 = 1

STEP 4

Calculate the percent increase using the formula:
Percent Increase=(IncreaseInitial Average)×100%\text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Initial Average}} \right) \times 100\%
Substitute the values:
Percent Increase=(12)×100%\text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \times 100\%

STEP 5

Perform the calculation:
Percent Increase=0.5×100%=50%\text{Percent Increase} = 0.5 \times 100\% = 50\%
The percent increase in the average number of missed days is:
50%\boxed{50\%}
