Given,
700 students went for excursion in 2010.
840 students went for excursion in 2011.
To find,
The percentage increase in people going into excursion.
Solution,
First of all, we need to calculate the numerical value of the increase in the number of people going into excursion.
Increase amount = Number of students of 2011 - Number of students of 2010 = 840 -700 = 140
Percentage increase = 100 × Increase amount/ Initial number of students = 100 × 140/700 = 20%
Hence,20% increased in the number of people going into the excursion.
