Question

The Walden University has 47,456 students in 2010, while Kaplan university had 77,966 students. Complete the following:

A. Kaplan’s enrollment was _% larger than Walden’s.
B. Walden’s enrollment was _% smaller than Kaplan’s.
C. Walden’s enrollment was _% of Kaplan’s.

Answer 1

Kaplan's enrollment was 64.28% larger than Walden's, Walden's enrollment was 39.12% smaller than Kaplan's, and Walden’s enrollment was 60.88% of Kaplan’s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Kaplan's enrollment as a percentage larger than Walden's, we subtract Walden's enrollment from Kaplan's, and then divide by Walden's enrollment:

1. Kaplan's enrollment - Walden's enrollment = 77,966 - 47,456 = 30,510
2. (30,510 / 47,456) * 100 = approximately 64.28%

Therefore, Kaplan's enrollment was 64.28% larger than Walden's.

To find out how much smaller Walden's enrollment was compared to Kaplan's, we follow a similar process:

1. (30,510 / 77,966) * 100 = approximately 39.12%

Hence, Walden's enrollment was 39.12% smaller than Kaplan’s.

To determine what percentage Walden's enrollment is of Kaplan's, we use the following calculation:

1. (47,456 / 77,966) * 100 = approximately 60.88%

Walden’s enrollment was 60.88% of Kaplan’s.

Answer 2

We have been given that The Walden University had 47,456 students in 2010, while Kaplan university had 77,966 students. We are required to compare the number of students in each of these universities in different ways.

(A) Let us first find difference between the number of students between the two universities. The difference between the number of students for two universities is 30510.

Let us now find what percentage is 30510 of 47456.

`(30510)/(47456)* 100 = 64.29 \%`

Therefore, Kaplan’s enrollment was 64.29% larger than Walden’s

(B) In order to answer this part, we need to find what percentage is 30510 of 77966.

`(30510)/(77966)* 100 = 39.13 \%`

Hence, Walden’s enrollment was 39.13% smaller than Kaplan’s.

(C) In this part we need to figure out what percentage is 47456 of 77966.

`(47456)/(77966)* 100 = 60.87 \%`

Thus, Walden’s enrollment was 60.87% of Kaplan’s.

Note: Please round your answers to required number of decimal values.
