Question

In September, there were 16 members in the music club. In October, the number of members was 24. What was the percent increase from September to October?

Answer 1

Percentage increase in member from September to October = 50%

Explanation:

Number of members in September = 16

Number of members in October = 24

Increase in number of members from September to October = 24-16=8

Percentage increase from September to October = (Increase in number of members from September to October × 100) ÷ Number of members in September

= (8 × 100)÷16=50%

Hence percentage increase in member from September to October = 50%
