Hello, I think  I can help you with this.

you can solve this by using a rule of three.

define

the total enrolled students represent the 100%

if

88% ⇔ 528 students

100%⇔ x students

the relation is

$\frac{88}{528}= \frac{100}{x} \\solve\ for\ x\\\frac{x*88}{528}=100\\x*88=100*528\\x=\frac{100*528}{88}\\ x=600$

600 students are enrolled
