Question

Can someone assist me?The cheerleading squad at Morristown High School had 20 members with the old coach. Now, with the new coach, there are 45% more members on the squad. How many members are on the squad now?

Answer 1

29

Explanation:

First, let's find out how many members are added to the squad with the new coach:

45% of 20 = 0.45 x 20 = 9

So, with the new coach, there are 9 more members added to the squad.

Now, to find the total number of members on the squad with the new coach, we just need to add the old number of members (20) to the number of new members added (9):

20 + 9 = 29

Therefore, there are now 29 members on the cheerleading squad at Morristown High School with the new coach.
