40% larger. What is the average class size currently?
PLS HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

• 42 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial class size = 30 students

Class size now is 40% larger:

• 30 + 40% =
• 30 + 30*40/100 =
• 30 + 12 =
• 42

Answer 2

First let's find larged amount

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 40\%\:of\:30$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.4(30)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12$

Class size=30+12=42students
