I have an EASY/FUN FOOTBALLING Maths question

TOM scores

10 goals in his first season

20 goals in his second season

82 goals in his third season

What is the percentage increase of goals from season one to season three?

I have my answer but I want to see what people get and see if I am correct or not :smile:

I thought it would be 720% because he scores 72 more goals in season three compared to season one as it is asking for the percentage increase.

In season two the percentage increase of goals from season one is 100%. (20 - 10 = 10; 10/10 = 100%)

In season three the percentage increase of goals from season one is 720%. (82 - 10 = 72; 72/10 = 720%)

I may be completely wrong, though :s
