Question

In the Fall 2015 term, enrollment in Math 95 is up 40% from Fall 2014, to a total of 525 students. What was the enrollment in the Fall 2014 term? @563blackghost

Answer 1

Is this question multiple choice?

Answer 2

It's not. I tried solving it and got 315 students but it told me it was wrong and I can't find another way to solve it

Answer 3

Hmmm...ok..well 315 is at about 60% of 525 so that is wrong...

What we would do is first turn 40% into decimal form so what would it be?

Answer 4

.40?

Answer 5

Correct ^^ Now we would multiply .4 with 525...\[525 \times .4=students|of|2014\]

Answer 6

Oh okay!! Thank you so much for your help!

Answer 7

Your welcome ^^
