A jogger jogs at 1/6 of his usual speed. how much % he has to increase speed to reach normal pace of walking

• [Brijesh Panchal]
  suppose usual speed is x, then current speed is x/6.
  to gain normal speed, he has to gain 5x/6
  
  % increase = 100*(5x/6)/(x/6) = 500%

• suppose usual speed is x, then current speed is x/6.
  to gain normal speed, he has to gain 5x/6
  if, x is 100%, then 5x/6 = ??
  it will give 83.33 %

• suppose usual speed is x, then current speed is x/6.
  to reach normal speed, he has to gain by 5x/6.
  
  % increase = 100*(5x/6)/(x/6) = 500%

• %increase in speed= (change in speed)*100 / original speed
  so
  change in speed =x-(x/6)if x is the original speed
  then,
  %change=(5x/6)*100/x
  ans=83.33%

• jogger has to increase his speed by 20% (1/(6-1))

• 83.33% because he have to increase his remaing 5/6 speed to get the actual speed...so calculate the% increament with 5/6

• (5*100)/6=83.33%
