A cyclist plans target bike ride distance throughout the week

Monday 10miles
tuesday 10 miles
wednesday 10 miles
Friday 10 miles

However he beats these and his actual distances are:

Monday 12.3
tuesday 20.2
wednesday 25.32
Friday 10.45

What is the percentage increase of each day?

Explanation:

Monday - Instead of 10 miles he did 12.3, so in order to find how much more he did:

12.3 - 10 = 2.3

Then, to find the percentage:

2.3 / 10 = 0.23

Thus, 2.3 is 23% of 10, meaning that he beat his planned distance by 23%.


Following this...

Monday - 23%
Tuesday - 102%
Wednesday - 153.2%
Friday - 4.5%

Good luck. :3
