50 * 0.1 = ________ new members
not sure but i am thinking 5
Yes. 10% of 50 = 5
The answer is 5.
To find out how many more students joined the Chess Club after the membership increased by 10%, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate 10% of the initial number of students (50).
To find 10%, you can divide the initial number by 10 and multiply the result by 1.
10% of 50 = (50 ÷ 10) × 1 = 5 × 1 = 5.
Step 2: Add the calculated value (10% of 50) to the initial number of students.
50 + 5 = 55.
Therefore, 55 is the new number of students in the Chess Club after the membership increased by 10%.
To determine the number of students who joined, subtract the initial number from the new number:
55 - 50 = 5.
Hence, 5 more students joined the Chess Club.
