Question

Answer 1

11.54%

Explanation:

Let x be the percent change in attendance from 2014 to 2015

Given:

650 attendance in year 2014

575 attendance in year 2015

Find Percent change in attendance from 2014 to 2015.

Solution:

First we find difference between attendance 2014 and 2015.

So, change attendance = attendance 2014 - attendance 2015

`change\ attendance=650-575`

change attendance = 75

So, the attendance change from year 2014 to 2015 is 75.

Now, we calculate the percent change in attendance.

% change =
`(new\ value)/(original\ value)* 100`

`x = (75)/(650)* 100`

`x=(75* 10)/(65)`

x = 11.54%

Therefore, the attendance change from the year 2014 to 2015 is 11.54%.
