Test: Two Part Analysis - 2 - GMAT MCQ

Calculate the number of international students in 2020 for each university:

• University P: 12,000 × 14% = 1,680 students
• University Q: 9,000 × 24% = 2,160 students
• University R: 16,000 × 7% = 1,120 students
• University S: 11,000 × 13% = 1,430 students

Calculate the percentage increase in enrollment for University P:
Percentage Increase = [(12,000 - 10,000) / 10,000] × 100% = (2,000 / 10,000) × 100% = 20%

Calculate the average graduation rate for each university:
University P: (85% + 86% + 87%) / 3 ≈ 86%
University Q: (80% + 81% + 82%) / 3 ≈ 81%
University R: (90% + 91% + 92%) / 3 ≈ 91%
University S: (88% + 87% + 86%) / 3 ≈ 87%
Conclusion:
University R had the highest average graduation rate of 91%.
