Question

Last year, there were 43 science projects and this year there are 52 science projects. What is the percent change in the number of science projects submitted?

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage change in science projects = 20.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of science projects last year = 43

Number of science project this year = 52

Change in science project or increase in science projects over last year

= 52 - 43

= 9

Now percentage increase or percentage change in science projects

= $\frac{\text{Number of projects increased over last year}}{\text{Total number projects last year}}\times 100$

= $\frac{9}{43}\times 100$

= 20.93%

Therefore, percentage change in the number of science projects is 20.93%
