Answer 2

Given,

The number of families who received a package in April$\[ = 2140\]$

The number of families who received a package in May$\[ = 2690\]$

Solution,

Assume that each family has an average member of three.

So, the number of persons who received a package in April is

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 2140 \times 3\\ = 6420\end{array}\]$

So, the number of persons who received a package in May is

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 2690 \times 3\\ = 8070\end{array}\]$

Therefore, the approximate percentage increase in the number of people supported by the hotel is

$\[\begin{array}{l} = \frac{{8070 - 6420}}{{6420}} \times 100\\ = \frac{{1650}}{{6420}} \times 100\\ = 0.257 \times 100\\ = 25.7\end{array}\]$

Hence, the approximate percentage increase in the number of people supported by the hotel is $\[25.7\% .\]$
