Answer:

The percentage increase is equal to [tex]41.67\%[/tex]

The proportion to find the percentage increase is equal to [tex]\frac{5}{12}*100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

[tex]12\ push-ups[/tex] ------> represent the [tex]100\%[/tex]

The increase of push-ups is equal to

[tex]17-12=5\ push-ups[/tex]

by proportion

[tex]\frac{12}{100}\frac{push-ups}{\%} =\frac{5}{x}\frac{push-ups}{\%}\\ \\x=\frac{5}{12}*100\\ \\x=41.67\%[/tex]

The percentage increase is equal to [tex]41.67\%[/tex]

The proportion to find the percentage increase is equal to [tex]\frac{5}{12}*100[/tex]
