A student population in a school was 972. Next year they are projected to have a 25% increase in student population. How many students will they have next year?

1215

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a 25% or 1/4 increase, this would mean that you divided the total number of students and add the quotient to the main thing.

So: 972 divided by 1/4 = 972/4 = 243.

972 + 243 = 1215.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
