Answer:

8763

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...

... x - 3%·x = 8500

... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms

... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

Enrollment last year was about 8763.

Of course, you know 3% = 3/100 = 0.03.

If I’m 24 in 1979 what year was I born in?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1950

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were 24 in 1974, simply subtract 24 from 1974 to find what year you were born in:

1974-24= 1950

Of course, it may be +/- 1 depending on what month you were born in, and what month it is now!
