Question

Last year, there were 380 students at woodland middle school. This year the student population will increase by 5%. What will be the school's increased population?

Answer 1

Since 5% of 380 is 19 (0.05 x 380 = 19), your answer would be 399 (380 + 19)

Answer 2

The answer is 399 because 5% will = to 19 and 19+380=399 so the answer would be 399.
