Question

Last year there were 500 children in a school. This year there are 565. What is the percentage increase in the number of pupils?

Answer 1

13%

Explanation:

`percentage \: increase = (565 - 500)/(500) * 100 \\ \\ = (65)/(500) * 100 \\ \\ = (65)/(5) \\ = 13 \%`

Answer 2

i think its 13%
percentage increase = new - old /old x100
565-500 / 500 x 100 = 13%
