Question

The local high school sold 1914 tickets this year to its spring musical. That was 174 more tickets sold than last year. What is the percent increase in the number of tickets sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

.909 (ROUNDED)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to do this all you need to do is divide the number with the number you got this year, 1914, and with the number last year.

1914-174=1740

1740 was the amount they got last year

Now you want to find the percent difference between the two.

1740/1914=.909090 (Repeats)

So the percent increase would be

.909090
