Question

Over the course of a year, a classroom went from 15 students to 19 students.

Use the drop-down menus to build an equation that could be used to find the percent change, p, in the number of students.

Answer 1

26.7 is the answer :)

Answer 2

26.7%

Explanation:

The positive change from 15 to 19 is 4.

Find the value of the fraction 4/15 and multiply the result by 100% to obtain the final answer:

4/15 = 0.26667

Multiplied by 100%, 0.26667 becomes 26.7%: the percentage change in the number of students
