Answer:

1,584.64 Students or just 1,585 students depending on how your teacher wants you to round.

Explanation:

So pretty much this question is saying that each year the students will raise by 43.33 students each year. You get 43.33 by multiplying 3.5% by 1,238. So you'll multiply 43.33 and 8 getting you 346.64. Then you'll add 346.64 and 1,238 -getting your answer- 1584.64 students in the year 2020.

I hope this helps you, let me know if you need anymore help! ^^

t

Step 2 Find the value in 6 years.

y = 1200(1.08)t
