Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 144 people in attendance at the school football game last Friday. This week there were 346 people in attendance at the school football game.What is the percent of change from last week to this week?Round your answer to the nearest whole number

To calculate the percentage change, we will follow the steps below:

First, we will find the difference(that is increase) between 144 and 346

Increase = New  number - Original number

             = 346 - 144

              = 202

Next is to divide the increase which is 202 by the original  number which is 144  and then multiply by 100

That is;

percentage change = increase ÷ original number × 100

                                   =202 / 144   ×  100

                                   ≈ 140    to the nearest  whole number

percentage change   ≈  140 %
