56 students enrolled in the school, making a new total of 704 students.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, before those 56 students enrolled, there were 704-56 = 648 students. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let N = the number of classrooms\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Before those 56 enrolled,

there was an average of 27 students in each classroom

Therefore\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Multiply both sides of the equation by N\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides of the equation by 27\r\n" );
