Question

August hosted two dinner parties for his friends. Twenty-five guests attended the first party, and thirty-one guests attended the second party. What is the percentage increase of the number of guests from the first party to the second party?

Answer 1

Answer:  The percentage increase of the number of guests from the first party to the second party is 24 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to calculate the increase of guests in numbers.

31 guests from the second party

25 guests from the first party

31-25 = 6

Now, we have to calculate the percentage of that number.

25 / 6 =  0.24

And finally, multiply it by 100 to express in percentage

0.24 x 100 = 24 %

The percentage increase of the number of guests from the first party to the second party is 24 %.

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something .

Answer 2

25+24%=31
So there was a 24% increase from the first party to the second
