Answer: 6% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

6% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial number of students = 1200

At the end of the year there were 1128 students

We need to find the  percent of  change in enrollment.

Change in enrollment = 1200 - 1128 = 72

The percentage of change is :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{change in students}}{\text{initial students}}\times100\\\\\%=\dfrac{72}{1200}\times 100\\\\=6\%[/tex]

So, there is a decrease of 6% in number of students.
