Explanation:
There were 144 people in attendance at the school football game last Friday. This week there were 346 people in attendance at the school football game.What is the percent of change from last week to this week?Round your answer to the nearest whole number
To calculate the percentage change, we will follow the steps below:
First, we will find the difference(that is increase) between 144 and 346
Increase = New number - Original number
= 346 - 144
= 202
Next is to divide the increase which is 202 by the original number which is 144 and then multiply by 100
That is;
percentage change = increase ÷ original number × 100
=202 / 144 × 100
≈ 140 to the nearest whole number
percentage change ≈ 140 %
