The school's championship record is 5 m

Kaydeen must increase her personal best by 25%

So, the school's championship record is 5 m

Find the percentage that she has to increase her personal best to equal the national record, by finding the percent change

Divide the difference in the scores by Kaydeen's score

1.5/6

= 0.25

So, Kaydeen must increase her personal best by 25%
