Answer 2

To find the percent increase, we first need to find the amount of increase.

The increase in Oliver's grade is 92 - 85 = <<92-85=7>>7.

To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of increase by the original grade and multiply by 100.

(7/85) * 100 = 0.082 * 100 = 8.2

Therefore, the percent increase of Oliver's grade is 8%.

The correct answer is D. 8%.

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. Let me recalculate.

To find the percent increase, we first need to find the amount of increase.

The increase in Oliver's grade is 92 - 85 = <<92-85=7>>7.

To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of increase by the original grade and multiply by 100.

(7/85) * 100 = 0.0823 * 100 = 8.23

Therefore, the percent increase of Oliver's grade is approximately 8.23%.

The correct answer is D. 8%.
