Question

A movie theater sold 422 tickets on Friday. On Saturday, they sold 518 tickets. What was the approximate percentage that ticket sales increased on Saturday?

Answer 1

Hi! Ok, first you find the difference between the two amounts. (96) Then, divide that by the original number (422). Then multiply by 100 (move the decimal place 2 places to the right). You get 22.74 % (not rounded).


Hope that helps!
