Question

The number of people that attended the first basketball game of the season was 840. The number of people attending the last basketball game of the season increased by 30%. How many people attended the last basketball game

Answer 1

1092 people attended the last basketball game.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who attended the first basketball game = 840

Percent increase for last game = 30%

Total people who attended last game = (100+30)% = 130% of first game

Number of people who attended last game =
`(130)/(100)*840`

Number of people who attended last game = 1.30*840 = 1092

Hence,

1092 people attended the last basketball game.
