The number of athletes that finished the race this year was 4284 athletes.

What is percentage?

10%, a comparative figure denoting one hundredth of any quantity. One percent, denoted by the symbol 1%, is equal to one hundredth of something; hence, 100 percent denotes the full thing, and 200 percent designates twice the amount specified.

Let x represent the amount of athletes that finished the race this year.

Last year, 3,570 athletes finished the Silvergrove Marathon. This year, the number of runners crossing the finish line was 20% higher. Hence:

x = 3570 + 20% of (3570)

x = 3570 + (0.2 * 3570)

x = 4284

4284 athletes finished the race.
