The Elmwood Middle School enrollment went from 750 students to 810 in one year, what percent increase did this represent?
810 - 750 = 60
60/750 = 0.08 = 8%
thank you
You're welcome.
To calculate the percent increase in enrollment, you need to find the difference between the new enrollment number and the original enrollment number, divide that difference by the original enrollment, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
1. Subtract the original enrollment from the new enrollment: 810 - 750 = 60.
2. Divide the difference (60) by the original enrollment (750): 60 / 750 = 0.08.
3. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.08 * 100 = 8.
Therefore, the percent increase in Elmwood Middle School enrollment is 8%.
