Answer:
The enrollment in year 2000 was about 1371
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The number of student enrolled at university in 2006 was 10,325
The increased percentage of student from 2000 to 2006 is 40%
Let the number of students in year 2000 was x
The number of student in 2006 = The number of student in 2000 × ( [tex](1 +\frac{40}{100})^{6}[/tex]
Or, 10,325 = x ×( [tex](1 +\frac{40}{100})^{6}[/tex]
Or, 10,325 = x × [tex](\frac{140}{100})^{6}[/tex]
Or, 10,325 = x × 7.529
∴ x = [tex]\frac{10,325}{7.529}[/tex]
So, x = 1371.364
Hence The enrollment in year 2000 was about 1371 Answer
