The number of students at another university increased from 14,000 students in 1971 to 30,000 in 1975. What was the percent increase in enrollment during this period?

Answer 1

30,000 - 14,000 = 16,000

16,000 / 14,000 = ?

Change the decimal answer to a percent.

Answer 2

Is it 1.14%?

Answer 3

Nope. You didn't convert the decimal to a percent.

16,000/14,000 = 1.1429 = 114.29%
