There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.
The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x
Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.
