Answer:
91.96%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that during the World Series the host city wide hotel occupancy rose 21% over the prior busiest night. The busiest night had been 76% occupancy.
[tex]\text{New record}=\text{Old record+ Increase in old record}[/tex]
To find the new record of occupancy, we will find 21% of 76% and add it to 76%.
[tex]\text{The new record}=76\%+({21\%\text{ of } 76\%)[/tex]
[tex]\text{The new record}=\frac{76}{100}+({\frac{21}{100}\times\frac{76}{100})[/tex]
[tex]\text{The new record}=0.76+({0.21\times 0.76)[/tex]
[tex]\text{The new record}=0.76+0.1596[/tex]
[tex]\text{The new record}=0.9196[/tex]
Now let us convert our answer in percentage by multiplying our answer by 100.
[tex]\text{The new record}=0.9196\times 100=91.96\%[/tex]
Therefore, the new record of occupancy was 91.96%.
