Question

A school had 225 students enrolled last year. This year, 260 students are enrolled. Find the percent of change to the
nearest percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

15.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

No of students that had enrolled last year = 225

This year, 260 students are enrolled.

We need to find the percent of change in the number of students. It can be calculated as :

P = (change in no of students/initial no of students)×100

$\%=\dfrac{260-225}{225}\times 100\\\\=15.5\%$

So, the percent change is 15.5%.
