Last year, there were 850 8th grades at Mike’s school. This year there are 1050. What is the percent change to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

To find the percent change, we first need to calculate the difference between the two values:

1050 - 850 = 200

Next, we need to calculate the percent change. To do this, we will use the formula:

(percent change) = (change in value / original value) x 100

(percent change) = (200 / 850) x 100
(percent change) = 0.2353 x 100
(percent change) = 23.53%

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent change is approximately 24%.
