Question 41315: Can someone help me with this problem?
A school had 900 students at the start of a school year. If there is an enrollment increase of 7% by the beginning of the next year, what is the new enrollment?
Thanks,
Lyn

Answer by Earlsdon(6294)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The new enrollment will be 900 + 7% of 900
7% of 900 = (0.07) X 900 = 63
So the new enrollment will be 900 + 63 = 963
