Question

There were only 86 confirmed cases of Measles in the year 2000. In 2019, there was a reported 1,350 % increase in confirmed

cases of Measles. How many cases were there in 2019?

Answer 1

1161 confirmed cases

Explanation:

In 2000 the number of cases was 86

Percent means out of a hundred, so if we divide 1350 by 100 we get 13.5.

So, we must multiply 13.5 and 86 to get the amount of cases in 2019.

13.5*86 = 1161 confirmed cases in 2019
