Question

e number of students in a school club increased from 32 to 36. By what percent did the number of students in the club increase?

Answer 1

The percentage increase is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Original number of students = 32

New number of students = 36

We will calculate the increase using;

`Increase = original \; number - new \; number`

Substituting the values, we have;

Increase = 36 - 32 = 4

`Percentage \; increase = (increase)/(original \; number) * 100`

`Percentage \; increase = (4)/(32) * 100`

`Percentage \; increase = 0.125 * 100`

Percentage increase = 12.5%

Therefore, the number of students in a school club increased by 12.5%.
