Question

at the beginning of the school year Anderson Middle School had 480 students at the end of the year it had 504 students what is the percent of change in the enrollment ​

Answer 1

The number of enrollments increased by 5%.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of students at the beginning of the year = 480

Number of students at the end of the year = 504

Change = 504 - 480 = 24

This indicates increase.

Percent of change =
`(Change)/(Old\ number\ of\ students)*100`

Percent of change =
`(24)/(480)*100`

Percent of change = 5%

Hence,

The number of enrollments increased by 5%.
