Question

There were 450 students enrolled in a middle school at the beginning of the school year. The number of students enrolled in the school at the end of the year was 10 percent greater than the number of students enrolled in the school at the beginning of the year. How many students were enrolled in the school at the end of the year?

Answer 1

495 students
