Enrollment in the ski/snowboard club increased by 30% this year. there are now 182 students in the club. how many students were there last year?

Enrolement increased by 30% that means last year=100%
incease of 30%=30+100=130% now

now=182

percent means parts out of 100 so
130%=130/100=13/10

182=13/10 of x (x represents the number last year)
of means multipy so
182=13/10 times x
multiply both sides by 10/13 to clear fraction
182 times 10/13=x=140

140 students last year

Percemt means parts out of 100
75%=75/100=15/20=3/4

turned in 6
if she turned in 3/4 of total assignments due then how many total?
6=3/4 times total
multily both sides by 4/3 to clear fraction
24/3=total
8=total
answer is 8 homeworks were assigned
