Answer 1

The expected percent increase is 14.4%.

Explanation:

Given:

The number of students attending college in 2015 was 20.2million.

This number expected to increase to 23.1 million by the year 2024.

Now, to find the expected percent increase.

The number of students was = 20.2 million.

The number of students expected to increase = 23.1 million.

The number of students increased = 23.1 - 20.2 = 2.9 million.

Now, to get the expected percent increase:

`(2.9)/(20.1) * 100`

`=(290)/(20.1)`

`=14.427\%.`

Thus, the expected percent increase nearest to tenth = 14.4%.

Therefore, the expected percent increase is 14.4%.
