Answer:
12,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We have been given that enrollment at ELAC decreased by 5%, or 600 people, the year. We are asked to find the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We can set as equation such that 5% of x equals 600.
[tex]\frac{5}{100}\cdot x=600[/tex]
[tex]0.05x=600[/tex]
[tex]\frac{0.05x}{0.05}=\frac{600}{0.05}[/tex]
[tex]x=12,000[/tex]
Therefore, 12,000 people were enrolled last year.
