Answer 1

Given,

From the 2014-2015 to 2024-2025, the number of student enrolled in an associate degree program is projected to increase by 23.5%.

The enrollment in associate degree in 2014 is 6,600,000.

The increase and the projected number of students in an associate degree program in 2024-2025 is,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Increase in number of students= total students in 2014}*(percentage)/(100) \\ =6600000*(23.5)/(100) \\ =66000*23.5 \\ =1551000 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the increase and the projected number of students in an associate degree program in 2024-2025 is 1551000.
