an amusment park recorded attendence of 825000 one year. the next year attendance was 975000. what was the percent increase in attendence. please show work/walk through process.
I had a typo in my final answer.
It should be:
150,000 / 825,000 = 0.1818 = 18.2%
975,000 - 825,000 = 150,000
150,000 / 825,000 = 0.1818 = 19.2%
the answer choices are 15.4% 18.2% 26.7% 12.9% 45.1%
oh okay thank you so much!!!!
You're very welcome.
To find the percent increase in attendance, you need to calculate the difference between the original attendance and the new attendance, and then divide that difference by the original attendance. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Start by finding the difference between the two attendance numbers:
Difference = New Attendance - Original Attendance
= 975,000 - 825,000
= 150,000
2. Next, divide the difference by the original attendance:
Percent Increase = (Difference / Original Attendance) * 100
= (150,000 / 825,000) * 100
= 0.1818 * 100
≈ 18.18
Therefore, the percent increase in attendance is approximately 18.18%.
