In week 1 80 people attended a basketball game. In week 2, 120 people attend a basketball game. By what percent did the attendance increased from week 1 to week 2. f.15%,g.33%,h.50%,j.67%
120-80=40 ????
100(40/80) = ?
To find the percentage increase in attendance from week 1 to week 2, you need to calculate the difference in attendance and then express it as a percentage of the original attendance.
First, calculate the difference in attendance:
Week 2 attendance - Week 1 attendance = 120 - 80 = 40
Next, calculate the percentage increase:
(40 / Week 1 attendance) * 100 = (40 / 80) * 100 = 0.5 * 100 = 50%
(The reason we multiply by 100 is to express the result as a percentage.)
Therefore, the correct answer is h. 50%, as the attendance increased by 50% from week 1 to week 2.
