Law Enforcement

Question

During the 2011 holiday season In Sonoma county, California, officials arrested 163 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol.

This was a 29% increase from the number arrested during the same time In 2010. How many were arrested during the holidays in 2010?

Answer 1

(2010 count) * (1.29) = 163

1.29 because 1 = 100% accounts for no increase at all. then 1 + 0.29 accounts for a 29% increase.
