Northside Christian Academy has 528 students enrolled this year. That is an in- crease of 10% over last year's enrollment. How many students were enrolled last year?

Let

x ------> students enrolled last year

we have that

100%+10%=110%=110/100=1.10

so

528=1.10x

solve for x

x=528/1.10

x=480

answer is 480 students
