Question

Last year the student council had 25 members. This year there are 37 members in student council. What is the percent change in the number of student council members?

Answer 1

48%

Explanation:

percent change = [ (difference between initial and final value) ÷ initial value) x 100

percent change = [ (37 - 25) ÷ 25 ] x 100 = (12 ÷ 25) x 100 = 48%
