At a summer camp with 1,500 participants, 1/2 of the campers are aged 8 to 12. Next year, the number of campers aged 8 to 12 will increase by 1/3. After this change, what percentage of the total 1,500 campers will the 8- to 12-year-olds represent?
Total participants at summer camp = 1500
Campers aged 8 to 12 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) of 1500 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 1500 = 750
Next year campers aged 8 to 12 will increase by \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) of 750 = \(\frac{1}{3}\) x 750 = 250 .
Total campers aged 8 to 12 next year = 750 + 250 = 1000
Percentage of campers aged 8 to 12 to total 1500 = \(\frac{1000}{1500}\) x 100 =
66\(\frac{2}{3}\)%Answer E ...
