Answer:

14.33%. Decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before, students were 823

After, students were 705

Definitely, there is a decrease. To find percentage decrease, we use the formula:

Percentage change = $\frac{After-Before}{Before}$

So we have:

$\frac{705-823}{823}=-0.1433*100=-14.33$

Percentage change in the enrolled students at Arlington Country Day School from 2000 - 2010 is 14.33%. It is a decrease.
