Last year there were 1435 8th graders enrolled in your school. This year there are 1220 what is the percent change in the number of 8th grade students?

To determine the percent change in the number of 8th grade students, we find the difference between the numbers and divide the calculated difference by the original number of 8th grade students and convert the quotient to percentage by multiplying by 100%

= 14.98%

Thus, the percent change is approximately equal to 14.98%.
