Answer 1

We can calculate the percent change dividing the change by the original amount of people attending the exhibit.

The increase is 298-152 = 146.

Then, we can calculate the percent change as:

$\frac{298-152}{152}=\frac{146}{152}=0.9605=96\%$

There was a 96% increase in the number of people attending the exhibit.
