An article reports that "attendance dropped 5.79% this year, to 374." What was the attendance before the drop? Give your answer as a whole number.

The attendance before the drop = 397

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the attendance before the drop =  x

% drop = 5.79%

This means that 374 is is the remainder after the drop

% of remainder = 100 - 5.79 = 94.21%

Therefore, 94.21% of x = 374

x = 397  

Therefore the attendance before the drop = 397

good luck!
