Enrolement increased by 30% that means last year=100%
incease of 30%=30+100=130% now
now=182
percent means parts out of 100 so
130%=130/100=13/10
182=13/10 of x (x represents the number last year)
of means multipy so
182=13/10 times x
multiply both sides by 10/13 to clear fraction
182 times 10/13=x=140
140 students last year
X+79=98 (subtract 79 to isolate x)
X=19 so it is false
For this, you multiply the 12 two point shots she made to see how many points she earned
12 x 2 = 24
now you will subtract the 24 from 27 to find out how many points are left
27 - 24 = 3
this means she made 12 two point shots (worth 24 points) and 1 three point shot (worth 3 points) to total up as her 27 points:)
