Answer:
(A) 126400
(B) 8.57%
Step-by-step explanation:
(A) According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,
Visitors in June = 121660
Let visitors in May = X
Difference in visitors number in June = 3.75% decrease
So, we can calculate the visitors number in may by using following formula,
Number of visitors in June = X - 3.75%X
121660 = 96.25%X
X = (121660 × 100) ÷ 96.25
X = 126400
Hence, Number of visitors in may = 126400
(B). Difference in visitors in July than in May = 4.5% increase
So, Number of visitors in July = 126400 + (126400 × 4.5%)
= 126400 + 5688
= 132088
Now, we will calculate increase in percentage by using following formula,
Increase percentage = (132088 - 121660) ÷ 121660
= 10428 ÷ 121660
= 0.0857 or 8.57%
