Question

Last year there were 120 campers at camp sleep-a-way. This year they will expect 150.By what percentage did the campers increase?

Answer 1

`\%Increase = 25\%`

Explanation:

Given

`Last\ Year = 120`

`This\ Year = 150`

Required

Determine the percentage increase

This is calculated as thus:

`\%Increase = (This\ Year - Last\ Year)/(Last\ Year) * 100\%`

`\%Increase = (150 - 120)/(120) * 100\%`

`\%Increase = (30)/(120) * 100\%`

`\%Increase = 0.25 * 100\%`

`\%Increase = 25\%`
