Question

East Junior High had 860 students last year. If there was a 5% increase in enrollment this year, how many students now attend?

Answer 1

172

Answer 2

How did you get that?

Answer 3

5/100 x 860 this gives the number extra students who enrolled

total enrollments = 860 plus your answer above

Answer 4

The current enrollment is the previous plus the increase. In that case,\[E=860+(.05)(860)=1.05(860)=903\]

Answer 5

Divide 860 by 5

Answer 6

Ok thanks all
