12,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We have been given that enrollment at ELAC decreased by 5%, or 600 people, the year. We are asked to find the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We can set as equation such that 5% of x equals 600.
Therefore, 12,000 people were enrolled last year.
Basically, the higher the price an item is the more you will be taking off of it if it is 10 percent off. For example, at $50, 10 percent off is $5, but at $55, it’s $5.50. There is more to take away, making the final price less than the original. Hope that make sense!
