Answer:
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
