Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial no of students = 16,000

Final no of students = 20,000

We need to find the percent increase in enrollment.

The increase in no of students = 20,000 - 16,000

= 4000

Percentage = (increase/initial no of students) × 100

$\%=\dfrac{4000}{16000}\times 100\\\\=25\%$

Hence, the percent increase is 25%.
