Respuesta :

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

No of 316 customers the first weekend it opened.

The second weekend it had 468.

We need to find the percent of increase in the number of customers.

The formula of percentage is given by :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{|\text{old number-new number}|}{\text{old number}}\times 100[/tex]

Here, old number = 316 and new number = 468

So,

[tex]\%=\dfrac{|316-468|}{316}\times 100\\\\\%=48.10\%[/tex]

or

% = 48%

So, the percent of increase in the no of customers is 48.
