Question

There were 110 students at a creative writing workshop last year. This year there are 132 students. What is the percent of increase in the number of students at the workshop?

Answer 1

Answer:

20% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

the initial number is 110 so lets take that as a 100%

the final number is 132 and it will be x

110/132=100/x

we multiply the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction and vice versa.

110*x=132*100

110x=13200

x=120

Then we deduct 120 by 100 to know how much the percent increase is

(120-100)%=20% :)
