Last week you collected 20 pounds of cans for recycling this week you collect 25 pounds of cans for recycling what is the percent of increase

If you would like to calculate the percent of increase, you can do this using the following steps:

x% of 20 pounds is 25 pounds

x% * 20 = 25

x/100 * 20 = 25

x = 25 * 100 / 20

x = 125%

125% - 100% = 25% increase

The correct result would be 25% increase.
