Answer 2

Answer:

16.21 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Myles had 185 songs in his music library.

           He then purchased an additional 30 songs

To Find: To the nearest percent, what was the percent increase in the number of songs in Myles’s music library?

Solution:

So, Increased percentage = $\frac{\text{Increase in number}}{\text{total number of songs}} \times 100$

Increased percentage = $\frac{30}{185} \times 100$
