This year, the number of boys on the honor roll increased by 25% and the number of girls on the honor roll increased by 20%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll increase? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Respuesta :

Answer:

22.7

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so, First we need to find new values:

       96( 1 + 0.25) =120

       85( 1+0.2)=  102

Boys last year        girls last year      total this year

   96                             85                        181

Boys this year        girls this year        total this year

  120                         102                           222

   Find the overall increase:

181( 1+r)= 1.226519

THEN U SUBTRACT 1

r=0.226519

Multiply by 100 and round to nearest 10th

22.7%

Final Answer: 22.7%
