Answer:
18.44%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Percentage who rode bus to work last year = x
Percentage who ride bus to work this year = 27.1%
Percentage who ride bus to work this year = [percentage who rode bus to work last year + 47% of percentage who rode bus to work last year]
Mathematically ;
27.1% = x + 47% of x
0.271 = x + (0.47x)
0.271 = x + 0.47x
0.271 = 1.47x
x = 0.271 / 1.47
x = 0.1843537
x = 0.1843537 * 100%
x = 18.435%
x = 18.44%
