Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

In 1999, the student enrolment at a college was 13% more than it was in 1998. If the enrolment was 36,612 in 2000, which was 8% more than 1999, find the enrolment in 1998

First, we need to determine the enrolment in 1999:

1999= 36,612/1.08

1999= 33,900

Now, we can find the enrolment in 1998:

1998= 33,900/1.13

1998= 30,000
