Question

Supergym is a national chain of gyms. Its employees sold 318,860 gym memberships last year. This year, they sold 80% more memberships than that. How many memberships did they sell this year?

Answer 1

Answer: 573,948 memberships

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the number of memberships the year prior by 80%

318,860 * 0.8 = 255088

If they sold 80% more memberships this year, that means you would add 80% of the previous year's memberships (255088) to the number of memberships sold last year (318860).

2. Add 80% of the previous year's memberships to the number of memberships sold last year

255088 + 318860 = 573948
