Answer:
512,804
Explanation:
We know that in 2000-2001, there were 547,867 students enrolled. We also know that this was a 6.4% increase from the previous year. To figure out how many students were enrolled in the year before, we need to first convert 6.4% to a decimal...
6.4% ---> 0.064
Now we simply multiply 547,867 by 0.064
(547,867) x (0.064) = 35,063
Our next step is to subtract 35,063 from 547,867 to figure out the students enrolled from 1999-2000...
547,867 - 35,063 = 512,804
Our answer is 512,804.
