Question

Last year 247 students attended the first home football game. This year, 295 attended. What is the percent increase in attendance?( write your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

19.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the increase

Increase = number of students that attended this year — those that attended last year

Therefore

295 - 247 = 48

Now

% increase =

increase/last years’number x 100%

That’s

48/247 x 100%

0.194 x 100%

19.4%

The percent increase is 19.4%
