Question

Last year 40 people adopted a mantee through Fia's foundation. This year 30% more people adopted a manatee . How many people adopted a manatee this year

Answer 1

To find this, multiply 40 (last years adoption numbers) time 1.3 (last years + the 30% increase) to get 52.

Answer 2

Number of people adopted a mantee through Fia's foundation = 40

30% more are people adopted a manatee

Number of people adopted = 30% of 40 = (0.30)(40) = 12

People adopted a manatee this year = number of people + 30% of 40

People adopted a manatee this year = 40 + 12

People adopted a manatee this year = 52
