Question

in 1995, there were 12,000 students at Beacon High. In 2000, there were 12,250. What is the rate of change in the number of students

Answer 1

Rate of change = 2.08%

Explanation:

In 1995, 12,000 students

In 2000, 12,250 students

Rate of change = ((12,250 - 12,000)/12,000) × 100 .

= 250/12,000 × 100 = 2.08%
