Question

Last year 950 people attended a town's annual parade. This year 1,520 people

attended. What was the percent increase in attendance from last year to this year?

Answer 1

Original #: 950

New #: 1,520

If it is percent of increase, you would do new amount - original amount over original amount.

1,520 - 950 / 950 = 570 / 950

0.6 or 60%
