1 answer

To calculate the percentage increase from 2013 to 2014, we need to find the difference in the number of students between the two years and express it as a percentage of the starting number of students in 2013.

The difference in the number of students between 2013 and 2014 is 280 - 250 = 30 students.

To express this as a percentage of the starting number of students in 2013, we divide the difference by the starting number and multiply by 100:

(30 / 250) * 100 = 0.12 * 100 = 12%

Therefore, the percentage increase from 2013 to 2014 is 12%.
