+49 Enrollment at Roosevelt went from 560 to 590. What is the percent change?
percent change is givern by 100*(final value - initial value)/initial value, so: 100*(590 - 560)/560 You can crunch the numbers.

The answer I got was 5.35714285714. So would it be 5.35 or 5.357??
+33654 To three decimal places it is 5.357%
However, to two decimal places it is 5.36%, because the third digit is greater than 5, so you round up the second digit.
(Don't forget to put the percent sign).
NB: It would have been better to add your response to the same thread as your original question (which could have been done by selecting Post answer there).

+33654 Yes. It depends on how many decimal places you have been asked to provide. 5.357% is very slightly more accurate.
+49 OKay. Thanks. :) But we weren't asked to provide a certain decimal places.
