Question

supergym is a national chain of gyms. its employees sold 5,370 gym memberships last year. this year, they sold 60% more memberships than that. how many memberships did they sell this year?
gym memberships

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the increase in memberships

The increase is \(60\%\) of last year's memberships. Last year's memberships are \(5370\). So the increase is \(0.6\times5370\).
$$0.6\times5370 = 3222$$

Step2: Calculate this year's memberships

This year's memberships = Last year's memberships+Increase. So it is \(5370 + 3222\).
$$5370+3222=8592$$

Answer:

\(8592\)
