Question

last year 950 people attended a towns annual parade. this year 1,520 people attended what was the percent increase in attendance from last year to this year

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage increase: First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
1520-950=570
570÷950= 0.6 × 100=60%
