There are 20.65% of the total number of students increased on the honor roll.

Percentage can be calculated by dividing the value by the total value, and then multiplying the result by 100.

Here, For last year

Total boys for honor roll = 100

total girls for honor roll = 84

total students for honor roll = 100+84 = 184

For present year,

Boys for honor roll = 100 + 100X0.17 = 117

Girls for honor roll = 84 + 84X0.25 = 105

Total students = 117 + 105 = 222

Increment in total students = 222 - 184 = 38

% increment in total student = 38 X 100 / 184

= 0.2065 X 100

= 20.65 %

Thus, there are 20.65% of the total number of students increased on the honor roll.
