Question

Last year, I had 92 APES students and this year I will have 63 APES students. By what percentage will the population of APES students increase.

Answer 1

The percentage increase is -31.52%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of APES student last year was 92

The expected number of APES student this year is 63

The percentage change = (Number of expected APE students - Number last year's APE students)/(Number last year's APE students) × 100

The percentage change is therefore

The percentage change = (63 - 92)/92 × 100 = -31.52%

The percentage increase is -31.52%

∴ The percentage decrease is -31.52%.
