Question

last year 950 people attended a towns annual parade. this year 1520 people attended. what was the percent increase in attendance from last year to this year?

Answer 1

The answer is 60%
I found that 10% of 950 was 95 so I kept adding that .
Then I found that 160% was 1520.
The difference between 160 and 100 is 60.

Answer 2

1520-950/950 x 100

570/950 x 100 = 60%
60%
