Question

In 2014, the enrollment at Luling High School was 625 students. In 2015, the enrollment grew to 650. By what percentage did the enrollment at Luling High School increase from 2014 to 2015?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\%Increase = 4\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial\ Population = 625$

$Final\ Population = 650$

Required

Determine the percentage population increase

This is calculated using the following formula:

$\%Increase = \frac{Final - Initial}{Initial} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = \frac{650 - 625}{625} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = \frac{25}{625} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = \frac{25* 100\%}{625}$

$\%Increase = \frac{2500\%}{625}$

$\%Increase = 4\%$

Hence, there is a 4% increment from 2014 to 2015
