Question

Last year, 320 students were members of Pine Hill Middle School clubs. This year, there was a 20% increase in memberships. How many students are members this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

384

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of students in the club last year = 320

No. of students in the club this year increased by 20%

To find the actual increase, 20% is multiplied by the number of students in the club last year which is 320 and to find the number of students in the club this year add the answer to 320 (the number of students in the club last year)

That is,

= 20% * 320

= 20/100 * 320

= 64

Finding the number of students in the club this year

320 + 64 = 384 students

NOTE : Increase means addition that is why the number of students in the club last year is added to the actual increase
