Answer:
The percent of change in the number of students in attendance is:
20.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year there were 29 students at a creative writing workshop.
This year 35 students attended the workshop.
The percent change in the number of students in attendance is:
\(\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{|\text{Number of students this year-Number of student last year}|}{\text{Number of student last year}}\times 100\)
Hence,
\(\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{|35-29|}{29}\times 100\\\\\\\text{Percent change}=\dfrac{6}{29}\times 100\\\\\\\text{Percent change}=20.689\%\)
which to the nearest tenth is:
\(\text{Percent change}=20.7\%\)
