It would be: 5/12 * 100 = 500/12 = 41.66%

So, your final answer is 41.66%

Answer:

The percentage increase is equal to \(41.67\%\)

The proportion to find the percentage increase is equal to \(\frac{5}{12}*100\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

\(12\ push-ups\) ------> represent the \(100\%\)

The increase of push-ups is equal to

\(17-12=5\ push-ups\)

by proportion

\(\frac{12}{100}\frac{push-ups}{\%} =\frac{5}{x}\frac{push-ups}{\%}\\ \\x=\frac{5}{12}*100\\ \\x=41.67\%\)

The percentage increase is equal to \(41.67\%\)

The proportion to find the percentage increase is equal to \(\frac{5}{12}*100\)
