Question

e number of students in a school club increased from 32 to 36. By what percent did the number of students in the club increase?

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage increase is 12.5%.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Original number of students = 32

New number of students = 36

We will calculate the increase using;

$Increase = original \; number - new \; number$

Substituting the values, we have;

Increase = 36 - 32 = 4

$Percentage \; increase = \frac{increase}{original \; number} * 100$

$Percentage \; increase = \frac{4}{32} * 100$

$Percentage \; increase = 0.125 * 100$

Percentage increase = 12.5%

Therefore, the number of students in a school club increased by 12.5%.
