Question

the average number of people who attended football games at a stadium increase from 8000 people in the Year 2005 to 12500 people in the year 2012 by the percentage did the average number of people at the games increase from 2005 to 2012

Answer 1

First, calculate the difference between both populations:

12500 - 8000 = 4500

next, determine what is the associated percent of 4500 related to 8000, as follow:

(x/100)8000 = 4500 solve for x

x = 4500(100/8000)

x = 56.25

hence, the increase of the populatio in between 2005 and 2012 was 56.25%
