Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The old record is 6.75 meters.
  • The new record is 8.5 meters.

If 6.75 meters represents 100%, which percentage would represents 8.5 meters? (we use the rule of three).

[tex]8.5 \times \frac{100 \%}{6.75 } =125.93 \%[/tex]

Then, we subtract 125.96% - 100% = 25.96%

Therefore, the percentage between the two records is 25.96%
