Question

Last year there was 20 students in a class. This year there are 30% more students. How many students are in the class?

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

To find the increase, we take the percentage increase times the original amount

increase = 30% * 20

increase = .30 *20

increase = 6

To find the new students in class, take the original student plus the increase

New class size = 20+6

=26
