Question

A music video website received 5,000 comments on a new song they released. After the artist performed the song on television, the number of comments increased by 30% the next day. How many new comments were on the website at the end of the next day?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6500$ new comments will appear on the website at the end of the next day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the music video website receives $5,000$ comments on a new song they released.

Also, after the performance on television, the number of comments increased by $30$ %.

So, increased comments are $30$ % of $5,000$

$=5,000\times\frac{30}{100}\\\\=1,500$

Now, the total number of comments by the end of the next day will be.

Comments on new song release $+$ Increased comments

$=5,000+1500\\\\=6,500\ Comments$
