Q. This year, a beauty magazine had 6,9666,966 subscribers. That is 80%80\% more than they had last year, before its parent company made some changes. How many subscribers did the magazine have last year?\newline____ subscribers
  1. Calculate original subscribers: Calculate the original number of subscribers before the 8080% increase. Let xx be the number of subscribers last year. The equation is x+0.8x=6966x + 0.8x = 6966.
  2. Solve for x: Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 1.81.8.
