The 2002 yearbook at Middleton Middle School had 236 candid (fun pictures, not planned) pictures of students. The 2001 yearbook had 214 candid pictures of students. To the nearest tenth, what was the percent of change in the number of candid student pictures?
(236 - 214) / 214 = ?
Multiply the decimal answer by 100 to get the percent.
(236-214)/236*100=
To calculate the percent of change in the number of candid student pictures, you need to find the difference between the two numbers (2002 and 2001), divide that difference by the original number (2001), and then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
First, find the difference between the number of candid student pictures in the two yearbooks:
236 - 214 = 22
Next, divide the difference by the original number of candid student pictures in the 2001 yearbook:
22 / 214 ≈ 0.1028
Then, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage:
0.1028 * 100 ≈ 10.3
Therefore, the percent of change in the number of candid student pictures is approximately 10.3%.
