Answer:

875 students are enrolled in this year's freshman class after the first week of classes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year, there were 950 students.

This year, the class is 10% smaller. So it's number of students is 100 - 10 = 90% of last year.

0.9*950 = 855

Initially, this year class had 855 students.

During the first week, 20 enrolled.

855 + 20 = 875.

So

875 students are enrolled in this year's freshman class after the first week of classes.
