283 people went this year to the stadium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put this data into pieces so it's less overwhelming.

Last year 260 students went to the prom.

Currently the number of students who attended has increased by 9% from last year.

And the question is asking how many students attended this year?

Well, if this is increasing by 9%, wouldn't we just find 9% of 260 then add it to 260?

0.09 * 260 = 23.4

260 + 23.4 = 283.40. Obviously we can't have 40% of a human being, so let's round it to 283.

the 2 figures are congruent bc if you reflect abcd over the y axis then over the d axis the figures overlap
