From 2000 to 2006, the number of students enrolled at a state university increased

Answer 1

Answer:

The enrollment in year 2000 was about 1371  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of student enrolled at university in 2006 was 10,325

The increased percentage of student from 2000 to 2006 is 40%

Let the number of students in year 2000 was x

The number of student in 2006 = The number of student in 2000 × ( $(1 +\frac{40}{100})^{6}$

Or, 10,325 = x ×( $(1 +\frac{40}{100})^{6}$

Or, 10,325 = x × $(\frac{140}{100})^{6}$

Or, 10,325 = x × 7.529

∴ x = $\frac{10,325}{7.529}$

So, x = 1371.364

Hence The enrollment in year 2000 was about 1371    Answer
