Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the decrease in enrollment, we need to first calculate the enrollment this year.

5% of 2200 = (5/100) x 2200 = 110 students

Therefore, the enrollment at the college this year is: 
2200 - 110 = 2090

So, the decrease in enrollment is: 
2200 - 2090 = 110 students

Thus, the correct answer is D) 110 students. To find the decrease in enrollment, we need to calculate 5% of last year's enrollment:
5% of 2200 = (5/100) × 2200 = 110
Therefore, the decrease in enrollment is 110 students.
