Question

The conference had 45 people and it increased by 40% the second day. How many more people came on that second day?

Answer 1

Number of people in the conference on first day = 45

It increased by 40% the second day.

To find:

The number of people in the conference on second day.

Solution:

The conference had 45 people and it increased by 40% the second day. So,

Number of people in the conference on second day
`=45+40\%\ of\ 45`

`=45+(40)/(100)* 45`

`=45+18`

`=63`

Therefore, the number of people in the conference on second day is 63.
