Dennis present Bowling Average = 240
A perfect game average = 300
Dennis needs 60 more average point to get perfect game average
So, % increase = $$\frac{60}{240}\cdot100\ =\ 25\%$$ $$Answer\ is\ Option\ B$$

In other words, an increase from 240 to 300 represents what kind of percent increase?

Percent increase = (100)(new - old)/old
= (100)(300 - 240)/240
= (100)(60)/240
= (100)(1/4)
= 25%

Answer: B

Cheers,
Brent
