There are 390 students at Walker Elementary this year. This is a 30% increase from the previous year. How many students were at Walker Elementary last year?

There were 300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Original * 30 = increase

Add the increase to get the new number

original + increase = 308

original + original*30% = 390

Factor out original number

original ( 1+30%) = 390

Change to decimal form

original ( 1+.30) = 390

original ( 1.30) = 390

Divide by 1.3

original = 390/1.3

             =300

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
