Explanation:

There are 195 ppl in the club this year so all i did was add 30% to145-150 until i got the answer witch is 150

Answer 2

150 people were in the club last year

Explanation:

suppose,

Last year there were x people in the club last year

now,

The attendance of the club increased by 30% from last year

∴At present the amount of people are in the club =x+(x . 30%)

=x+(x . 30/100)

=x+(30x/100)

= (100x+30x)/100

=130x/100

Given that,

There are 195 people in the club now

∴130x/100=195

=>130x=19500 [multiply both sides by 100]

=>x=19500 /130 [divide both sides by 130]

=>x=150

∴150 people were in the club last year
