The average number of people who attended football games at a stadium increased from 9,000 people in the year 2005 to 12,000 people in the year 2012. By what percentage did the average number of people at the games increase from 2005 to 2012?
125%
64%
39%
25%
...
33%
To find the percentage increase from 2005 to 2012, we first need to calculate the difference in the average number of people. The increase is given by:
12,000 - 9,000 = 3,000
Then, we calculate the percentage increase by dividing the difference by the original number and multiplying by 100:
(3,000 / 9,000) * 100 = 33.33...
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the average number of people at the games increased by approximately 33%.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the options provided.
To find the percentage increase in the average number of people who attended football games from 2005 to 2012, you can use the following formula:
Percentage increase = [(new value - old value) / old value] * 100%
First, calculate the difference between the new value (12,000 people) and the old value (9,000 people):
12,000 - 9,000 = 3,000
Then, divide this difference by the old value and multiply by 100%:
(3,000 / 9,000) * 100% = 33.33%
Therefore, the average number of people at the games increased by approximately 33.33%. Since none of the answer options provided match this percentage, it seems there is an error in the available choices, and the correct answer is not present.
