    Number of students taking Spanish class this year in Brooke's school = 60

    Percentage increase in the number of students

    taking Spanish class from last year = 25%

    Then

    Number of students that are taking Spanish

    class more than last year = 25/100 * 60

    = 15

    Then

    The number of students that took Spanish class last year = 60 - 15

    = 45 students

    So the number of students that took Spanish class last year was 45. I hope the answer is clear to you and the procedure is also easy for you to understand.
