Answer:Therefore, the percent change from 56 to 77 students is 37.5%.

Explanation:

students, we can use the following formula:

percent change = ((new number - old number) / old number) x 100%

Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get:

percent change = ((77 - 56) / 56) x 100%

percent change = (21 / 56) x 100%

percent change = 0.375 x 100%

percent change = 37.5%

Therefore, the percent change from 56 to 77 students is 37.5%.
