Question

The football game was attended by 417 people, 22% more than last week. How many people attended last week’s game?

Answer 1

Find the 22% of the 417

.22 * 417 = 91.74

then subtract that from 417

417 - 91.47

325 (rounding)

Answer 2

Let

x--------> the number of people attended last week’s game

we know that

`22\% =(22)/(100) =0.22`

`(1+0.22)x=417 \\ 1.22x=417`

Solve for x

Divide by
`1.22` both sides

`x=417/1.22=342\ people`

therefore

the answer is

The number of people attended last week’s game was
`342\ people`
