Question

Last year, there were 318 students at Woodland Middle School. This year, there are 419 students. What is the percent of change? Is it a percent increase or decrease?

Answer 1

101 increase I think that help

Answer 2

the equation is new-old / old

419-318 = 101

101 / 318 = .32

.32 = 32%

since it is positive, it's a percent of increase
