Those look good to me.
Thanks.
For the first question, let's calculate the sale price of the shirt using the given information.
The original price of the shirt is $44. To find the sale price, we need to understand that a discount of 25% means the price is reduced by 25% of the original price.
First, we need to calculate the discount amount. We can do this by multiplying the original price ($44) by the discount percentage (25% or 0.25).
Discount amount = $44 * 0.25 = $11
To find the sale price, we subtract the discount amount from the original price.
Sale price = Original price - Discount amount = $44 - $11 = $33.
So, your answer of $33.00 for the sale price is correct.
For the second question about the percentage increase in high school enrollment, we need to find the difference between the initial enrollment (1,165 students) and the final enrollment (1,320 students).
Difference = Final enrollment - Initial enrollment = 1,320 - 1,165 = 155.
The next step is to find the percentage increase. We can do this by dividing the difference (155) by the initial enrollment (1,165) and multiplying by 100.
Percentage increase = (Difference / Initial enrollment) * 100 = (155 / 1,165) * 100 = 13.3%.
So, your answer of 13.3% for the percentage increase in high school enrollment is correct as well.
