Question:

How many student-athletes signed up for spring sports in Bronxville in 2012?

a. 5500

b. 4500

c. 5000

d. 6000

Final Answer:

The number of student-athletes who signed up for spring sports in Bronxville in 2012 was approximately 4,601, however, this number is not listed in the provided options.

Explanation: To solve this problem, we need to unravel the numbers backwards from 2014 to 2012. In 2014, there were 4554 student-athletes in spring sports. That was 110% of the 2013 numbers, which means 2013 had 100% or 4554/1.1 = 4140.91 (rounded to the nearest whole student, that's 4141 athletes). The 2013 number was also 90% of 2012’s number.

Therefore, to find the 2012 figure, we can say that 4141 is 90% or 0.9 of the 2012's figure. So, 4141/.90 = 4601.11 (rounded to the nearest whole student, that's 4601 athletes). None of the available options (a. 5500, b. 4500, c. 5000, d. 6000) is correct.
