The following graph shows the enrollment at a community college.
1997 6,000
1998 8,000
1999 10,000
2000 12,000
2001 14,000
what was the increase from 1997 to 2001?
This is a subtraction problem.
14,000 - 6,000 = ?
Thank you, but I need to figure out how to put this in an equation form for algebra. I am not good with word problems and need some help.
To find the increase from 1997 to 2001, we need to subtract the enrollment in 1997 from the enrollment in 2001.
Enrollment in 1997: 6,000
Enrollment in 2001: 14,000
To calculate the increase:
Increase = Enrollment in 2001 - Enrollment in 1997
Increase = 14,000 - 6,000
Increase = 8,000
Therefore, the increase from 1997 to 2001 is 8,000.
