Answer:

C. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

The new number is the increased time, 75 minutes, and the old number is the original time, 60 minutes.

percent change = (75 min - 60 min)/(60 min) * 100%

percent change = (15 min)/(60 min) * 100%

percent change = 0.25 * 100%

percent change = 25%

Since the percent change is a positive number, it is a percent increase.

The percent increase was 25%.

Answer: C. 25%
