Given:
Initial speed of typing = 35 words per minute
At the end of the course her typing speed = 77 words per minute
To find:
The percent of increase in her typing rate.
Solution:
We know that,
[tex]\text{Percent of increase in her typing rate}=\dfrac{\text{New speed - initial speed}}{\text{Initial speed}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent of increase in her typing rate}=\dfrac{77-35}{35}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent of increase in her typing rate}=\dfrac{42}{35}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percent of increase in her typing rate}=120\%[/tex]
Therefore, her typing rate is increased by 120%.
