Question

The west side soccer league has 186 players. They expect a 7.5% increase in players for at least the next 4 years. How many players will they have at that point?

Answer 1

They will have 200 players at that point.

Explanation:

7.5% increase

This means that the amount will be 100% + 7.5% = 107.5% = 1.075 of the original amount, that is, the original amount multiplied by 1.075.

Currently has 186 players. How many players will they have at that point?

186*1.075 = 199.95

Rounding up:

They will have 200 players at that point.
