According to the same report, the 28.5 million passengers in 2018 represented a 6.7% increase in cruise passengers since 2017. How many cruise passengers must there have been in 2017

approximately 26.7 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cruise passengers in 2017.

6.7% increase of x gives us 28.5 m cruise passengers in 2018.

Thus, 106.7 % of x = 28.5

Multiply both sides by 100

Divide both sides by 106.7

(approximated)

Number of passengers in 2017 must have been approximately 26.7 million

.632

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632
