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

Answer: 60% increase

Explanation:

First, find how many more people attended this year: 1,520 - 950 = 570.

Now, find what percent of 950 570 is: 950 * x = 570 → x = .6 * 100 = 60% :)
