Divide 100 by 29. You get 3.45.
Subtract 35 by 29 and you get 6.
6 times 3.45 equals 20.7.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The percent of change in the number of students in attendance is:

20.7%

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Last year there were 29 students at a creative writing workshop.

This year 35 students attended the workshop.

The percent change in the number of students in attendance is:

$\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{|\text{Number of students this year-Number of student last year}|}{\text{Number of student last year}}\times 100$

Hence,

$\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{|35-29|}{29}\times 100\\\\\\\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{6}{29}\times 100\\\\\\\text{Percent change}=20.689\%$

which to the nearest tenth is:

$\text{Percent change}=20.7\%$
