Answer 1

To the nearest whole percent is 26%

Explanation:

First half of the year = 54 students

Second half of the year = 68 members

find the percent of increase in club membership to the nearest whole percent ?

% increase in club membership = (new member - old member) / old member × 100

= (68 - 54) / 54 × 100

= 14 / 54 × 100

= 0.259 × 100

= 25.9 %

To the nearest whole percent is 26%
