Acompany starts to track the number of phone calls received each month. information about the number of phone calls the company received the first three months of tracking is listed below. during the first month, the company received 4,264 phone calls. during the second month, the company received 25% more phone calls than in the first month. during the third month, the company received 6,396 phone calls. what was the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month?

Percent increase : 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First month: 4,264 phone calls.

Second month: 25% more phone calls than in the first month.

To know the total phone calls received during this month you must take 25% of 4,264 and then add it to the 4,264 call of the first month:

4,264*25%=1,066

Total phone calls of the second month: 1,066+ 4,264= 5,330

You can also calculate the total phone calls of the second month by multiplying 4264 times 1,25 because times 1 is the same number and times 0,25 is the percent increase in the number of calls:

4,264*1,25= 5,330

Third month: 6,396 phone calls

To know the percent increase in the number of phone calls from the second month to the third month you must use the percent change formula:

Percent change: ((value2-value1)/ value 1 )*100%

Value 2: phone calls received during the third month

Value 1: phone calls received during the second month

Percent change: ((6,396-5,330)/ 5,330 )*100%

Percent increase: 20%
