Answer:

13

Explanation:

Given info:

10 members with old coach.

New coach = 30% more members.

Solve:

Knowing that, we start with 10 members and no one left so we still have 100% members still. With the New coach we have 30% more members which means, 100% + 30% = 130%.

We can set up a percent proportion to solve now;

x/130=10/100

(130*10)/100 = x

x = 13

As a result, There are 13 members on the squad now.
