Answer:

6 people went the year before

Step-by-step explanation:

If 30 ppl went this year, you would have to find what times what equals 30. So jf it was 5 times more than before, the answer would be 6 because you would have to do 5 X 6 which would equal 30 so the answer is 6.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

6 people

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, let's set up an equation.

We know 30 people went last year to Universal, and that this is 5 times as many people as who went the year before

So to figure out how many went the year before, we divide 30 by 5

30/5 = 6

So 6 people went to Universal the year before.

I hope this helps :)
