Hiroshi found anti-virus program on his personal computer scans 182 megabytes of data in 7 seconds / an update to the program advertises a new rate of 35 megabytes per second. how much faster is the anti-virus program after the update?

182 divided by 7 = 26

the old virus program scanned at 26 megabytes per second

35-26 = 9

the new anti-virus program is 9megabytes per second faster than the old program

(if looking for percentage increase/decrease read on)

formula=new subtract old divided by old times 100

((35-26) divided by 26) (100)

(9 divided by 26) (100)

0.34615 (100)

34.62% increase

the new virus program is 34.62% faster than the old one
