The huge costs behind the Olympics

 

Hosting the Olympic Games is extremely expensive. In this updated activity, students explore the cost of hosting the Olympics, what a cost overrun (percentage increase) means, and how actual Olympic games costs always exceed original estimates. Students analyze real data, make sense of billion-dollar expenses, and make a prediction for the cost of the upcoming 2026 Olympics.
