Answer:
The equivalent percentage point drop = 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage point change is the difference between the final and initial values.
The percentage change is the difference between the final and initial values
divided by the initial value
It is required to decrease the dropout rate from 30% to 20%
The point change = 20 - 30 = -10 (-ve change ⇒ decrease)
The percentage change = [tex]\frac{10}{30}*100 = 33.33_%[/tex]%
So, the equivalent percentage point drop = 10%
And the percentage change = 33.33%
