Question

A school had 225 students enrolled last year. This year, 260 students are enrolled. Find the percent of change to the

nearest percent.

Answer 1

15.5%

Explanation:

No of students that had enrolled last year = 225

This year, 260 students are enrolled.

We need to find the percent of change in the number of students. It can be calculated as :

P = (change in no of students/initial no of students)×100

`\%=(260-225)/(225)* 100\\\\=15.5\%`

So, the percent change is 15.5%.
