Question

Percent Change Word Problems

Answer 1

This year, the number of boys on the honor roll increased by 20% and the number of girls on the honor roll increased by 18%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll increase? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answer 4

lol

Answer 5

So 1.2 * 100 = 120
and 1.18 * 50 = 59

120 + 59 = 179

originally we had 100 + 50 = 150

% increase = (179-150)/150 * 100% = 19.3%

so good job!!
