A baseball team had 70 players show up for tryouts last year and this year had 85 players show up for tryouts. Find the percent increase in players from last year to this year.

Answer 1

Answer:percent increase in players from last year to this year= 7.14%

Explanation:

percent increase = (Increase in number of players /Initial value of players Last year) x 100

value of players for tryouts last year = 70

value of players for tryouts this year = 85

Increase in tryouts = 85-70 =5

percent increase = 5/70 x 100

= 7.14%
