Question

The enrollment at Polk Middle School grew from 440 students to 528 students. By what percent did enrollment grow?

Answer 1

It grew by 24.54%
First, you subtract the original from the current number (this is for percentage INCREASE not decrease)
528-440=108
Then you take 108 and divide it by 440.
108/440=0.24545455
Then, you take that number and multiply it by 100.
0.24545455*100=24.54
24.54%
