The graph showes you the percent CHANGE in the students in 2015 +11% and then in 2017 a decrease of 3%

I do not see any wrong wording in the question sir.

It perhaps needs more clarification - the percent change relative to the previous year? why do we multiply 1.11 with 1000? I set this up as 1.11x=1000, so the number of students in philosophy would be 1000/1.1, 3 percent decrease would then correspond to .97(1000/1.11)
