Answer:

  1. 7227
  2. 6649

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the enrollment the first year. Then x(1 -8%) = 0.92x represents the enrollment the second year. The total for the two years is ...

  x + 0.92x = 13,876

  x = 13,876/1.92 = 7227.083 ≈ 7227 . . . . students the first year

  13876 -7227 = 6649 . . . . students the second year
