7. A club's membership increases from
540 members to 995 members. What is the percent increase?
To find the percent increase, we first need to find the difference between the initial number of members and the final number of members.
Difference = Final number of members - Initial number of members
Difference = 995 members - 540 members
Difference = 455 members
Next, we need to divide the difference by the initial number of members and then multiply by 100 to find the percent increase.
Percent Increase = (Difference / Initial number of members) * 100
Percent Increase = (455 members / 540 members) * 100
Percent Increase = 0.842 * 100
Percent Increase ≈ 84.2
The percent increase is approximately 84.2%.
To find the percent increase, you can use the following formula:
Percent increase = (New Value - Old Value) / Old Value * 100
Let's plug in the values given:
Old Value = 540
New Value = 995
Percent increase = (995 - 540) / 540 * 100
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Percent increase = 455 / 540 * 100
Dividing the numerator by the denominator, we have:
Percent increase = 0.8426 * 100
Finally, multiplying by 100, we get:
Percent increase = 84.26%
Therefore, the percent increase in the club's membership is approximately 84.26%.
To calculate the percentage increase, you need to find the difference between the final value and the initial value, divide that by the initial value, and then multiply by 100.
Step 1: Find the difference between the final value and the initial value.
995 members - 540 members = 455 members
Step 2: Divide the difference by the initial value.
455 members / 540 members ≈ 0.8426
Step 3: Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
0.8426 * 100 ≈ 84.26%
So, the percent increase in the club's membership is approximately 84.26%.
