Question

Last year there were 380 students at Woodland middle school this year the student population will increase by 5% what will be the schools increased student population?

Answer 1

last year = 380 students

increasement = 3/100 x 380/1 = 11.4

since you can't have 11.4 students, you need to round it to 11.

so this year there will be 380 + 11 students.
