What is the percent of increase in volunteers from Year 1 to Year 2 and from Year 1 to Year 3? Round to the nearest tenth percent if necessary.

Answer :

244167go

Answer:

0.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

138 into a percent=1.38%

156 into a percent=1.56%

175 into a percent=1.75%

1.38-1.56=0.18

1.56-1.75=0.19

0.19-0.18= 0.1%

The increase in volunteers from year 1 to year 2 is 13.04 % and the increase from year 1 to year 3 is 26.81 %.

Percentage

The percentage can be defined as a relative value that represents the hundredth part of any quantity.

Given that the number of volunteers in a program during year 1, year 2 and year 3 are 138, 156 and 175 respectively.

The percentage of increase in volunteers from year 1 to year 2 is given below.

Volunteers (%) = [tex]\dfrac {156-138}{138} \times 100[/tex]

Volunteers (%) = 13.04%

The percentage of increase in volunteers from year 1 to year 3 is given below.

Volunteers (%) = [tex]\dfrac {175-138}{138} \times 100[/tex]

Volunteers (%) = 26.81 %

Hence we can conclude the increase in volunteers from year 1 to year 2 is 13.04 % and the increase from year 1 to year 3 is 26.81 %.
