Last year there were 1435 8th grade students enrolled at your school. This year there are 1220. What is the percent change in the number of 8th grade students?

Answer: 14.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the percentage change is given as:

% change = change / actual value x 100

change = 1435 - 1220

change = 215

original value = 1435

substituting into the formula, we have

% change = 215/1435 x 100

% change = 14.98
