Between 1970 and 1976 by what percentage did the total passengers carried increase?
A. 59
B. 52
C. 56

Looking at the chart in 1970, there were 311 million total passengers.
In 1976 there were 473 million.
Find the difference:
473 - 311 = 162 million increase.
Now divide the amount of increase by the 1970 amount:
162 / 311 = 0.52 x 100 = 52% increase.
The answer is B.
Answer:
B.52
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Passenger carried in 1970=311 millions
Passenger carried in 1976=473 millions
Increase in passenger carried=473-311=162 millions
Increase percentage=[tex]\frac{increase \;value}{Initial\;value}\times 100[/tex]
Increase percentage=[tex]\frac{162}{311}\times 100=52.09\approx 52[/tex]%
Therefore, the total passenger carried increase 52%.
Hence, option B is true.
Answer:B.52
