Question

After an increase of 25%, there were 800 students in Hockessin Middle School. How many students were at the middle school before the increase?? ( please answer!! )

Answer 1

Answer: 640 students
Step by Step Explanation:

If there was an increase of 25% that means it was 100% earlier. 100+25 = 125%
800=125%
To get from 125 to 100 divide by 1.25
800/1.25=640
640=100%
