Question

The school population for a certain school is predicted to increase by 70 students per year for the next 15 years. If the current enrollment is 800 ​students, what will the enrollment be after 15 years?

The enrollment will be ----- after 15 years.

Answer 1

• 1850 students

Explanation:

To find the enrollment after 15 years, We can simply add the increase of 70 students per year for 15 years to the current enrollment of 800 students.

`\tiny{ \fbox{Enrollment after 15 years = Current enrollment + (Increase per year * \: Number of years)}}`

Enrollment after 15 years :

• = 800 + (70 × 15)

• = 800 + 1050

• = 1850 students

So, the enrollment will be 1850 students after 15 years.
