The percent increase can be calculated using the following formula:
Percent Increase = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) x 100
Old Value = 5 laps
New Value = 9 laps
Percent Increase = ((9 - 5) / 5) x 100
Percent Increase = (4 / 5) x 100
Percent Increase = 0.8 x 100
Percent Increase = 80%
Therefore, the percent increase from Mark's first run to his most recent run is 80%.
Percent Increase = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) x 100
Old Value = 5 laps
New Value = 9 laps
Percent Increase = ((9 - 5) / 5) x 100
Percent Increase = (4 / 5) x 100
Percent Increase = 0.8 x 100
Percent Increase = 80%
Therefore, the percent increase from Mark's first run to his most recent run is 80%.
