Answer 1:

Well, the answer would be 9.375% increase or 9% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

You start by 17.5 - 16, which will equal 1.5.

Then, 1.5 ÷ 16, that will get you 0.09375

Finally, 0.09375 × 100 will get you the answer of 9.375.

Then you round it to 9% which is your answer

Answer 2:

18.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 18% into a decimal (0.18) and multiply 22 by 0.18 which will get you 3.96.

Then take 3.96 and subtract it from 22, that will be 18.04.

So, 18.04 is your answer.
