Answer:

The percent of decrease in enrollment is 40 %.

Explanation:

Given,

The initial enrollment of students = 25,

While, the new number of enrollment = 15,

Since, initial enrollment > new number of enrollment

Thus, the enrollments are decreased

And, the total decreasing in number of enrollments = Initial enrollments - new number of enrollments

= 25 - 15 = 10

Hence,


\text{The percentage of decrease in enrollment} = \frac{\text{Total decreasing}}{\text{ Initial enrollment}}* 100


=(10)/(25)* 100


=(1000)/(25)


=40\%
