Question

Last year, 1800 music lovers heard the Toronto Symphony at a performance at Ontario

Place. This year, 2070 people heard them. What was the increase as a percentage of
last year's attendance?

Answer 1

15% increase

Explanation:

to find the percent increase from an initial value to a final value, first find the difference:

2070-1800=270

then divide the difference by the initial value:

270/1800= 0.15

and multiply by 100

0.15*100=15

so there is a 15% increase
