Solution

To determine how many people to plan for this year, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate 8% of last year's attendance: 1,040×0.08=83.2 1,040 \times 0.08 = 83.2

  2. Add this number to last year's attendance to find the expected attendance for this year: 1,040+83.2=1,123.2 1,040 + 83.2 = 1,123.2

  3. Round the result to the nearest whole number: 1,123.21,123 1,123.2 \approx 1,123

Therefore, you should plan for 1,123 people.
