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.
