The percent change in attendance from 2014 to 2015 is 11.54 %
Solution:
Given that,
In 2014 the tenants at Jefferson school’s Fall festival Was 650
In 2015 the attendance was 575
To find: percent change in attendance from 2014 to 2015
Percentage change equals the change in value divided by the absolute value of the original value, multiplied by 100.
[tex]\text {Percent change }=\frac{\text { change in attendance from } 2014 \text { to } 2015}{\text { atendance in } 2014} \times 100[/tex]
Change in attendance from 2014 to 2015 = attendance from 2014 - attendance from 2015
Change in attendance from 2014 to 2015 = 650 - 575 = 75
Therefore percentage change is given as:
[tex]\text {Percent change }=\frac{75}{650} \times 100=\frac{7500}{650}=11.54[/tex]
Thus the percent change in attendance from 2014 to 2015 is 11.54 %
