Question 449679: Hello:
I need help with the following word problem:
A university reported that its enrollment increased from 11,934 students in 2006 to 12,228 students in 2007.
a) What is the ratio of the number of students in 2007 to the number of students in 2006?
b) From the result in part a, determine the growth factor. Write it in deciomal form to the nearest thousandth.
c) By what percentage did the enrollment increase?
I believe the easy part is part a which I have determined to be 1.025. I am stumped by the rest.
Thank you so much for your help.

b) sort of a trick question ___ the growth factor is equal to the ratio from a)
___ maybe the answer to a) is supposed to be the fraction, not the reduced decimal
c) the percentage is ___ (GF - 1) * 100 ___ OR ___ [(12228 - 11934) / 11934] * 100
___ it is the decimal portion of the growth factor
