Question

Attendance this year at the homecoming football game is 148% of what it was last year. If last year's homecoming football game attendance was 32,000,what is this year's attendance?

Answer 1

`=47360`

Explanation:

Last year the attendance was 32000 so this years attendance is 148% of 32000.

% is a unit of measurement and is worth `1/100`

So 148% is the same as `148xx1/100 = 148/100`

`=>148% of" " 32000" is the same as "148/100xx32000`

`=47360`
