There were 200 members at a skating club. After some new members went in, there were 256 members altogether at the skating club. What was the percentage increase of members at the skating club?

Respuesta :

If I think I’m understanding it, the new members out of the 200 original would be adding 28% to the mix

the percentage increase of members at the skating club is 28%

What is relative change?

"relative change = (final value - initial value)/ initial value"

What is percent change?

percent change = relative change × 100

For given example,

There were 200 members at a skating club. After some new members went in, there were 256 members altogether at the skating club.

initial value (a) = 200

final value (b) = 256

So, relative increase is,

⇒ R = (b - a)/a

⇒ R = (256 - 200)/200

⇒ R = 56/200

⇒ R = 0.28

So, the percent increase is,

⇒ P = R × 100

⇒ P = 0.28 × 100

⇒ P = 28%

Therefore, the percentage increase of members at the skating club is 28%
