There were 134 people in attendance at the school football game last Friday. This week there were 246 people in attendance at the school football game. What is the percent of change from last week to this week?

Answer 1

To calculate the percent of change from last week to this week, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percent of Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}} \times 100 \]

In this case, the old value (attendance last week) is 134, and the new value (attendance this week) is 246.

1. Calculate the difference: \[ \text{New Value} - \text{Old Value} = 246 - 134 = 112 \]

2. Divide by the old value: \[ \frac{112}{134} \approx 0.8358 \]

3. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: \[ 0.8358 \times 100 \approx 83.58 \]

Thus, the percent of change from last week to this week is approximately 83.58%.
