Question

Dr. Wells saw 960 patients last year. This year, the number of patients he saw was 25%higher. How many patients did Dr. Wells see this year?

Answer 1

.Since the old number of patients is 960

Since it is increasing by 25%, then

We will find the amount of 25% of 960, then add it to 960

`\begin{gathered} I=(25)/(100)*960 \\ I=240 \end{gathered}`

Add it to 960 to find the new number of patients

`\begin{gathered} N=960+240 \\ N=1200 \end{gathered}`

Dr Wells saw 1200 patients
