a) 172 students
b) 184 students
c) 193 students
d) 165 students

Answer 1

The enrollment in the Middle School next year will be 183 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of students enrolled in the Middle School next year, we need to increase the enrollment by 22%.

First, calculate 22% of 150, which is 0.22 x 150 = 33.

Next, add the increase to the current enrollment: 150 + 33 = 183.

So, there will be 183 students enrolled in the Middle School next year.
