Answer:
The percent of decrease in enrollment is 40 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The initial enrollment of students = 25,
While, the new number of enrollment = 15,
Since, initial enrollment > new number of enrollment
Thus, the enrollments are decreased
And, the total decreasing in number of enrollments = Initial enrollments - new number of enrollments
= 25 - 15 = 10
Hence,
[tex]\text{The percentage of decrease in enrollment} = \frac{\text{Total decreasing}}{\text{ Initial enrollment}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{10}{25}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1000}{25}[/tex]
[tex]=40\%[/tex]
