Answer:

52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours of sleep a student gets = 5.28hrs

A teacher wants the student to get = 8hrs of sleep

Unknown:

Percentage increase in the number of hours the student will sleep = ?

Solution:

  Percentage increase = [tex]\frac{New sleep hours - former sleep hours}{former sleep hours}[/tex] x 100

 Percentage increase  = [tex]\frac{8 - 5.28}{5.28}[/tex] x 100 = 51.5%

  Percentage increase  = 52%
