a new physician saw 841 clients during the first year of her practice and 1,072 the second. which represents the percentage increase in client volume?
a. 22%
b. 27%
c. 78%
d. 127%
percentage increase
(1072 - 841)/841
You will get a decimal. Move the decimal point two places to the right and include the % sign.
Well, that new physician is certainly popular! Let's calculate the percentage increase in client volume:
First, let's find the difference in client volume between the two years:
Second year client volume - First year client volume = 1,072 - 841 = 231
Now, let's calculate the percentage increase:
(231 / 841) x 100 = 27.444%
So, rounding up to the nearest whole number, we can say that the percentage increase in client volume is approximately 27%.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b. 27%. That physician is definitely attracting more patients!
To calculate the percentage increase in client volume, we need to find the difference between the two years and then calculate the percentage increase.
The difference in client volume between the first and second year is:
1,072 - 841 = 231
To find the percentage increase, we divide the difference by the initial value (841) and multiply by 100:
(231 / 841) * 100 = 27.5%
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percentage increase in client volume is 28%.
Therefore, the correct answer is option b. 27%.
To calculate the percentage increase in client volume, you need to find the difference between the initial number of clients and the final number of clients, then divide that difference by the initial number of clients, and finally multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
Let's do the calculation:
Number of clients in the first year = 841
Number of clients in the second year = 1,072
Difference = Number of clients in the second year - Number of clients in the first year
Difference = 1,072 - 841
Difference = 231
Percentage increase = (Difference / Number of clients in the first year) * 100
Percentage increase = (231 / 841) * 100
Percentage increase ≈ 27.48
Therefore, the percentage increase in client volume is approximately 27%. So the correct option is (b) 27%.
