The percent increase in enrollment is 6 %
The operation used in first step is finding the difference between final value and initial value
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that This year, 1,272 students enrolled in night courses a a local college
Last year only 1,200 students enrolled.
To find: percent increase in the enrollment
The percent increase between two values is the difference between a final value and an initial value, expressed as a percentage of the initial value.
<em><u>The percent increase is given as:</u></em>
Here initial value (last year) = 1200 and final value(this year) = 1272
Substituting the values in above formula,
Thus percent increase is 6 %
