Question

Last year 950 people attended a town's annual parade. This year $1,520 people attended. What was the percent increase in attendance from last year to this year?

Answer 1

Answer: 60 percent attendance was increased .

Step-by-step explanation

Number of people Last year = 950

Number of people this year  = 1520

Increase =   this  year - last year

               = 1520 - 950

                = 570

      Percentage increase = $\frac{increase }{last year}  100$

                                            =   570 / 950  x 100

                                             =  60
