Question

One year I had 30 ap environmental science students and the next year I had 50 environmental students, what percentage did the population of apes students grow by?

Answer 1

Hello!

To find this, we divide our 50 by 30.

50/30=1.6666666

We need to subtract one to find how much of the 30 increased.

.6666666

We can round this to a percent

66.67%

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

If you want to find by how much percent something increased, take the final value and divide it by the initial value. When you divide 50 by 30, you get 5/3, which can be written as 1.666(repeating). Then, you subtract 1 from the answer and multiply by 100. So, the population of APES students grew by 66.66%
