Answer:

475 × 1.48^9 or 16182

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with 475. Then to find the number of students after 1 year we mult 475 by 1.48 (48% + 1 because we're increasing in students). But, to get it after 9 years, we raise that 1.48 to the power of 9 which is equal to 1.48 * 1.48 * 1.48 and so on 9 times. This leads us to our final equation of 475 * 1.48^9 or roughly 16,182
