1. A school had 900 students at the start of a school year. If there is an enrollment increase of 7% by the beginning og the next year, what is the new enrollement?
Did I do it correctly?
900/b=7/100
7B=900*100
7B=90000
B=90000/7
B=72,857
If B is suppose to be next year's enrollement, up from 900 to 72 thousand, that hardly seems reasonable.
900 ( 1+.07)= new enrollment
oh I see thanks!
To find the new enrollment after a 7% increase, you need to add 7% of the current enrollment to the current enrollment.
So, the calculation would be:
New Enrollment = Current Enrollment + (7% of Current Enrollment)
In this case, the current enrollment is 900 students.
To calculate 7% of 900, you can multiply 900 by 0.07, which gives you 63.
Then, you add that 63 to the current enrollment:
New Enrollment = 900 + 63 = 963 students
So, the new enrollment for the beginning of the next year would be 963 students.
