Last year, a day care center had 120 children enrolled. This year, 144 children were enrolled at the day care center. Calculate
the percentage of increase from last year to this year. Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary. A. 16.7%
B. 20%
C. 83.3%
D. 120%
Number of children that enrolled in a day care center last year = 120 Number of children that enrolled in a day care center this year = 144 Difference in the number of children = 144 - 120 = 24 Percentage of increase = (24/120) * 100 = 20 percent. From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option is option "B".
Rounding 2.199. The tenths digit is 1, which is 4 or less, so you will round down. Re-write 2.199 without the decimal places: 2 . So 2.199 rounds to 2.
