Question

A schools enrollment in 2012 was 1234 now it is 1456 what does the expression look like that would help me find the percent change

Answer 1

.18 % increase

Explanation:

First you would find what the difference is between the school enrollment

you would do 1456 - 1234 = 222

Then you would divide 1234/1456 = 84.75% to see the total percentage

The increase however has a percentage of .18%

To check your work you would do .18 x 1234 = 222.12 ( round to the nearest whole number so it would just be 222) then add 1234+ 222 = 1456!

Answer 2

A) (1,456-1,234) ÷ 1,456
