Answer 1

25%

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

`\%=(4000)/(16000)* 100\\\\=25\%`

Hence, the percent increase is 25%.
