Question

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 1296

Explanation:

Data

2000 --------- 900 students

2001 ---------- 180

2002 ---------- ?

900 students ---------------- 100%

180 students ---------------- x

x = (180 x 100) / 900

x = 20%

1080 students ------------- 100 %

x ------------- 20%

x = (20 x 1080) / 100

x = 216

Total number of students = 1080 + 216 = 1296
