At a local high school, enrollment in the drama club increases by 5%. the common ratio will be 1.05.

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

A percentage is a minimum number or ratio that is measured by a fraction of 100.

At a local high school, enrollment in the drama club increases by 5%.

Let an initial number of students in high school be 'a'.

so next year increase in students will be = 5% of a

= 5/100 × a

= 0.05a

and total number of the students will be = ( a + 0.05a )

= ( 1.05a )

So common ratio of the geometric square formed

( 1.05a )/ a = 1.05

Therefore, the common ratio will be 1.05.
