Question

At first public inquiry showed there were 637000 women motorcyclists in the US up from 437000 just 8 years ago before it. Find the percent of increase in the number of women motorcyclists during these 8 years

Answer 1

I would say to do 637000-437000, which is 200000, and then do 200000/637000. You get 0.314, and the percentage of that in hundreds is 31%.
