Question

Enrollment in mathematics courses

increased from 1440 students last

semester to 1925 students this semester.

Find the percent increase, to the nearest

whole percent

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

1925 - 1440 = 485

X/100 = 485/1925 (what percent is 485 of 1925) (%/100=is/of)

(485 x 100) / 1925 (cross multiply)

48500/1925 = 25%
