Question 1013149: In the Fall 2015 term, enrollment in Math 95 is up 40% from Fall 2014, to a total of 525 students. What was the enrollment in the Fall 2014 term? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 2015 total of 525 students represents 140% of the older 2014 total...if we call that x, then
140% of x = 525 or
1.4x = 525
x = 525/1.4 = 375 Math 95 students in 2014
