Question

1. Girl Scout Troop 321 started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. Gabby

Answer 1

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:

= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100

= 6/25 × 100

= 24%

The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:

= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100

= 6/31 × 100

= 19.4%
