A university currently has 25,500 enrolled students. Due to a discounted tuition, the university expects the number of enrolled students to increase at a rate of 3% per year. If the expected increase occurs, which function represents the number of enrolled students in t years?
S(t) = 25,500(0.03)t
S(t) = 25,500(0.97)t
S(t) = 25,500(1.03)t
S(t) = (25,500)(1.03)t

Well if the current number of students is 25,500 and we want to know what 25,500 plus 3% is we would need to make a function that would multiply 25,500 by 3% and add that answer to 25,500.

Right. Because you want to multiply 25,500 by 0.03 which is 3% and add that to the original number 25,500 so its 25,500x0.03 +25,500 which simplifies to 25,500(1+0.03) or 25,500(1.03)
