Answer 1

enrollment decreases by 14.34%.

Explanation:

Given that number of students enrolled in 2000 = 823

Given that number of students enrolled in 2010 = 705

705 is less than 823 so that means number of students enrollment is decreasing.

Decrease = 823-705 = 118

Percent decrease is given by formula:

`Percent =(part)/(whole)\cdot100 =(118)/(823)\cdot100= 14.3377885784`

which is approx 14.34%.

Hence final answer is that enrollment decreases by 14.34%
