Last year at a certain high school, there were 96 boys on the honor roll and 85 girls on the honor roll. This year, the number of boys on the honor roll increased by 25% and the number of girls on the honor roll increased by 20%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll increase? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

22.7

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so, First we need to find new values:

       96( 1 + 0.25) =120

       85( 1+0.2)=  102

Boys last year        girls last year      total this year

   96                             85                        181

Boys this year        girls this year        total this year

  120                         102                           222

   Find the overall increase:

181( 1+r)= 1.226519

THEN U SUBTRACT 1

r=0.226519

Multiply by 100 and round to nearest 10th

22.7%

Final 22.7%
