To find the percent of change, we need to calculate the difference between the initial number of students and the final number of students.
The difference is calculated as: Final number - Initial number = 5000 - 4000 = 1000.
To find the percent of change, we need to divide the difference by the initial number and then multiply by 100: (1000/4000) * 100 = 25%.
Therefore, the percent of change in the enrolled students at Georgia Connections Academy from 2015 to 2020 is 25%, and it is an increase.
