Current enrollment = 2024
Explanation:Last year's enrollment = 2300
rate of decrease = 12%
We know the number of students that enrolled last year. The number decreased by a rate of 12%. We need to find the present number of students that enrolled.
This is done by first finding the reduction in number of students. We multiply last's year enrollment by the rate of decrease
The reduced number of students = 2300 × 12%
The reduced number of students = 2300× 0.12
The reduced number of students = 276
276 students didnot enroll. We need to find the present number of students that enrolled.
This is done by subtracting the reduced numbers of students from last years enrollement
Current enrollment = Last year's enrollment - the reduced number of students
Current enrollment = 2300 - 276
Current enrollment = 2024
