Question

1. the number of students enrolled at a local university dropped 14% from last year. the number of students enrolled at a local university this year is ____ % of the number of students that were enrolled last year.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the percentage drop

If the number of students dropped by 14% from last year, we consider last year's enrollment as 100% (or 1 in decimal form).

Step2: Calculate this year's percentage

To find this year's percentage relative to last year's, we subtract the drop percentage from 100%. So, \(100\% - 14\% = 86\%\).

Answer:

86
