Answer:
The increase in membership is 11898 and percent increase in membership is 11.247%.
The bonus will not be awarded.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Part (A) Determine the increase in membership and percent increase in membership.
The number of members in 2016 is 105788 and the number in 2017 is 117,686.
That means the number of members increases are:
117,686-105,788=11,898
This can be calculated as:
Hence, the increase in membership is 11898 and percent increase in membership is 11.247%.
Part (B) Determine the percentage of the 25% increase in membership and then decide if the bonus should be awarded.
The 25% increase in membership can be drawn as:
That means 26447 new members should increase.
105788+26447=132235
Hence, there should be 132,255 members in 2017 so that they increase by 25%.
Hence, the bonus will not be awarded as the number of members in 2017 are 117,686.
