A movie theater sold 422 tickets on Friday. On Saturday, they sold 518 tickets. What was the approximate percentage that ticket sales increased on Saturday?
You do the difference divided by the starting number. 518 - 422 = 96 (the difference) 422 is the starting number. 96/422 = 0.227488 (rounded up) if 1 is 100% then 1+0.2227488 would be the increase. 1 + 0.227488 = 1.227488 1.227 = 122.7%
