Answer 1

Answer:

The new record was 91.96%.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given statement: During the World Series the host Citywide Hotel a occupancy Rose 21% over the prior busiest night if the busiest night had been 76% occupancy.

To find the new record of occupancy.

We will find the 21% of 76% and then added it to 76%.

$\text{New record} = \text{old record} + \text{Increase in record}$

New record = $76\% +(21\% \times 76\%)$

New record = $\frac{76}{100} +(\frac{21}{100}\times \frac{76}{100})$

New record = $0.76 + (0.21 \times 0.76) = 0.76 + 0.159 = 09196$

Convert this decimal number into percentage by just multiplying a number by 100 we get;

New record = $0.9196 \times 100 = 91.96\%$

Therefore, the new record was 91.96%
