Question

During its first week in business, a new coffee shop served 153 customers. During the second week, 468 customers were served. What was the percent increase in customers served, from the first week to the second week?

Answer 1

Determine the change in number of customer served in a week.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Change}=468-153 \\ =315 \end{gathered}`

Determine the percent change in number of customer.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percent change=}(315)/(153)*100 \\ =2.0588*100 \\ =205.88 \end{gathered}`

Thus, increase in number of customer is 205.88%.
