A town has approximately 1000 homes the town Council is considering plans For future development plan a calls for an increase of 200 home per year Plan B calss for a 10% increase each year compare the plans

To answer this question, we need to first find out what they want us to solve.

The only unknown number is 10% of 200, so we have to find that to compare the 2 plans.

We can find 10% of 200 simply by multiplying 200 by the decimal form of the percentage.

The decimal form of 10% is. 10

200*.10=20.

Plan b is an increase of 20 homes each year.

Short term, it is much smaller than 200 homes per year, but as the number of homes grows, 10% of those homes will grow.

Hope this Ella!
