Question

The girls varsity basketball team had 850 fans attend their first game of the season. For the second game they had 1037 fans attendance. What was the percentage increase in attendance?

Answer 1

22%

Explanation:

It's 22% because if we want to find the percent change in something, the formula for that is new number - (minus) old number, than divide by old number, and lastly multiply by 100. So,

1. 1037 - 850 = 187

2. 187 / 850 = 0.22

3. 0.22 x 100 = 22 --> 22%
