Answer:

  32.4

Step-by-step explanation:

prior + 8.1 = 40.5 . . . . . . seems to model the problem statement

prior = 32.4 . . . . . . . subtract 8.1 from both sides

Prior to the increase the percent was 32.4.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

When you're talking about a percentage increase in a percentage, it is almost never clear whether you're talking about the percentage of the underlying number, or the percentage of the percentage.

Here, we assume the 8.1 is a percentage of working students, not a percentage of the percentage of workings students. If you actually intend the latter, the percentage before the increase was about 37.465%.

A dog owner wants to use 200 ft of fencing to enclose the greatest possible area for his dog. he wants the fenced area to be rec
Fiesta28 [93]
Perimeter (P) = 2 · Length(L) + 2 · Width (W) → P = 2L + 2W
Solve for either L or W (I am solving for L).
200 - 2W = 2L
(200 - 2W)/2 = L
100 - W = L

Area (A) = Length (L) · Width (W)
              = (100 - W) · W
              = 100W - W²

Find the derivative, set it equal to 0, and solve:
dA/dW = 100 - 2W
     0    = 100 - 2W
     W  = 50

refer to the equation above for L: 
100 - W = L
100 - 50 = L
        50  = L

Dimensions for the maximum Area are 50 ft x 50 ft
