The attendence increase by 4%

Step - by - Step Explanation

What to find? Percentage increase.

Given Parameters:

,

• Initial value or original number = Number of last year attendance = 4000.

Percentage Increase can be calculated using the formula below:

`\text{ \% }increase=\frac{\text{ increase}}{\text{original value}}*100\text{ }`

Substitute the values into the formula above and simplify.

`=(160)/(4000)*100\text{ }`

`=\frac{160}{40\cancel{00}}*1\cancel{00}`

`=\frac{16\cancel{0}}{4\cancel{0}}`

`=(16)/(4)`

= 4

Therefore, the attendence increase by 4%.
