Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the number of people who visited the attraction this spring, considering the 15% increase from last spring, you can use the formula:
Number of visitors this spring=Number of visitors last spring+(15100×Number of visitors last spring)Number of visitors this spring=Number of visitors last spring+(10015×Number of visitors last spring)
Given that 48,600 people visited last spring:
Number of visitors this spring=48,600+(15100×48,600)Number of visitors this spring=48,600+(10015×48,600)
Number of visitors this spring=48,600+(0.15×48,600)Number of visitors this spring=48,600+(0.15×48,600)
Number of visitors this spring=48,600+7,290Number of visitors this spring=48,600+7,290
Number of visitors this spring=55,890Number of visitors this spring=55,890
So, Greta expects approximately 55,890 people to visit the attraction this spring.
