Enrollment in the Ski/Snowboard Club increased by 30% this year. There are now 182 sudents in the club. How many students were there last year?

1.3x = 182

Solve for x.

140 To find the number of students in the Ski/Snowboard Club last year, we can use the concept of percentage increase.

Let's denote the number of students last year as "x."

We know that the enrollment in the club increased by 30%. This means the number of students this year is 30% more than the number of students last year.

Mathematically, we can represent this as:
x + 0.3x = 182

Simplifying the equation, we have:
1.3x = 182

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.3:
x = 182 / 1.3

Using a calculator, we can determine that x ≈ 140.

Therefore, there were approximately 140 students in the Ski/Snowboard Club last year.
