If the enrollment in associatedegree programs in 2014-2015 is 7,800,000, find the increase and the projected number of students in an associate degree program in 2024-2025.The increase is(Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)The projected number of students in an associate degree program in 2024-2025 is(Round to the nearest whole number as needed)

Answer 1

First, let's convert the percentage into a decimal:

`(21.3)/(100)\rightarrow0.213`

And multiply it by the initial amount:

`7800000\cdot0.213=1661400`

This way, the increase would be 1,661,400 , and the proyected number of students would be 9,461,400
