    Enrolement increased by 30% that means last year=100%

    incease of 30%=30+100=130% now

    now=182

    percent means parts out of 100 so

    130%=130/100=13/10

    182=13/10 of x (x represents the number last year)

    of means multipy so

    182=13/10 times x

    multiply both sides by 10/13 to clear fraction

    182 times 10/13=x=140

    140 students last year
