Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the increase in a percentage is find by determining the difference between the two numbers.

Then divide the increase by the original number and then multiply with 100 to find the percent increase.

Given data:

Original number = 540

New number = 720

Increase in admission = 720 - 540 = 180

Percentage increase = 180/540 x 100 = 0.33 x 100

                                = 33%

Thus the increase in new admission is  33%.
