Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Decreased students = 1050 - 798 = 252

Decreased percentage = (decreased students ÷ number of last year students) * 100

= [tex]\frac{252}{1050}*100[/tex]

= 24%

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

% change = [tex]\frac{difference}{original amount}[/tex] x 100

; 1050 - 798 = 252

% change = [tex]\frac{252}{1050}[/tex] x 100

% change = 0.24 x 100

% change = 24

the percentage decrease in the number of students enrolled is 24%
