Mr Nut has 20 students in his class at the beginning of the year. he now has 24 students what is the percent  of increase

To calculate the percent increase, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \times 100
\]

- Original value = 20 students
- New value = 24 students

\[
\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{24 - 20}{20} \times 100 = \frac{4}{20} \times 100 = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\%
\]

Thus, the percent increase in the number of students is **20%**.
