Answer 1

Answer:

There was 5% increase in visitors from last year to this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of Visitors at theme park last year = 2000000

Number of Visitors at theme park this year = 2100000

We need to find the percent increase in visitors from last year to this year.

First we will find Number of increase in visitors from last year to this year.

Number of increase in visitors is equal to Number of Visitors at theme park this year minus Number of Visitors at theme park last year.

Framing in equation form we get;

Number of increase in visitors = 2100000 - 2000000 = 100000

Now Percent of increase in visitors is can be calculated by dividing Number of increase in visitors with Number of Visitors at theme park last year and then multiplied with 100.

Framing in equation form we get;

Percent of increase in visitors = $\frac{100000}{2000000}\times 100 = 5\%$

Hence There was 5% increase in visitors from last year to this year.
