Marcus Parsons · Answer 1

Number of children that enrolled in a day care center last year = 120

Number of children that enrolled in a day care center this year = 144

Difference in the number of children = 144 - 120

= 24

Percentage of increase = (24/120) * 100

= 20 percent.

From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option is option "B".
