Estimate how many people would have to visit the museum on Wednesday to have the same estimated percent change between Tuesday and Wednesday as between Monday and Tuesday. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that On​ Monday, a museum had 350 visitors while on Tuesday, it had 680 visitors. The percent change in the number of visitors to the museum will then be:

= (680 - 350)/350 × 100

= 330/350 × 100

= 94.29%

The number of people that'll have to visit on Wednesday to have the same estimated percent change will be:

= 680 + (94.29% × 680)

= 680 + (0.9429 × 680)

= 680 + 641

= 1321
