Question

in 1928, the number of events in the winter olympics was 14. the 2014 winter olympics in sochi, russia, included 98 medal events. find the percent increase in the number of events in the winter olympics from 1928 to 2014. %

Explanation:

Step1: Find the increase in events

First, we calculate the increase in the number of events. The initial number of events in 1928 is 14, and the number of events in 2014 is 98. So the increase is $98 - 14 = 84$.

Step2: Calculate the percent increase

The formula for percent increase is $\frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Amount}} \times 100\%$. Substituting the values we have, the original amount is 14 and the increase is 84. So we calculate $\frac{84}{14} \times 100\%$.

First, $\frac{84}{14} = 6$. Then, $6 \times 100\% = 600\%$.

Answer:

600%
