Transcript text: Fill in the blanks so that the resulting statement is true.
The numerator of the fraction for percent increase is $\square$ and the denominator of the fraction for percent increase is $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the percent increase, the numerator is the difference between the new value and the original value, and the denominator is the original value.
Step 1: Identify the Values
Given the original value \( O = 50 \) and the new value \( N = 75 \).
Step 2: Calculate the Numerator
The numerator for the percent increase is calculated as:
\[
\text{Numerator} = N - O = 75 - 50 = 25
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Denominator
The denominator for the percent increase is simply the original value:
\[
\text{Denominator} = O = 50
\]
Final Answer
The numerator and denominator for the percent increase are:
\[
\text{Numerator} = 25, \quad \text{Denominator} = 50
\]
Thus, the final boxed answer is:
\[
\boxed{(25, 50)}
\]
