The number of applicants to a university last year was 11,450. This year, the number of applicants grew by 2%. How many applicants are there this year?

11,679
13,740
20,610
23,900

11679

Step-by-step explanation:

Increased by 229

First you need to find the 2%

So to find the 2%

2/100 * 11450=229

Now add 11450+229= 11679

11,679

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off making the 2% into a decimal so you can multiply it with the full amount of applications for the year before. 2% in decimal is .02 because you move the decimal twice to the left. Now that you have .02, multiply it by 11,450. (11,450)*(.02) which should be 279. Now you have to add the 279 to the 11,450 because they were admitted as well. (11,450+279)= 11,679

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
