Question

During the World Series the host Citywide Hotel a occupancy Rose 21% over the prior busiest night if the busiest night had been 76% occupancy what was the new record

Answer 1

The new record was 91.96%.

Explanation:

As per the given statement: During the World Series the host Citywide Hotel a occupancy Rose 21% over the prior busiest night if the busiest night had been 76% occupancy.

To find the new record of occupancy.

We will find the 21% of 76% and then added it to 76%.

`\text{New record} = \text{old record} + \text{Increase in record}`

New record =
`76\% +(21\% * 76\%)`

New record =
`(76)/(100) +((21)/(100)* (76)/(100))`

New record =
`0.76 + (0.21 * 0.76) = 0.76 + 0.159 = 09196`

Convert this decimal number into percentage by just multiplying a number by 100 we get;

New record =
`0.9196 * 100 = 91.96\%`

Therefore, the new record was 91.96%
