Explanation:

Answer 2

To find the percent increase of players, we first need to find the increase of players numerically.

We can do that by simply subtracting 80 from 96.
96-80=16

Now we need to find what percent of 80 16 is. To do that, we can divide 16 by 80 and convert the decimal into a percentage.
16/80=.2

The percentage form of .2 is 20%.
The increase of players was 20%
