A local college is offering German lessons and currently has 8 students enrolled. Through advertising, 8 more became interested but a fourth of these dropped out within a day. 2 more got frustrated and left. The class then rallied to show how simple the course actually is and increased enrollment by 5 times the amount of students already enrolled in the class, but 2 had to drop it because of scheduling conflicts. After one last rally, 6 more people enrolled. As the days passed, half of the class eventually dropped, and half of the remaining students graduated. How many are still enrolled?
How many students are enrolled in the German class? ** 8+8=<<8+8=16>>16 students are enrolled in the German class.
How many students dropped out from the new recruits? ** 8*.25=<<8*.25=2>>2 dropped out from the new recruits.
How many students were left? ** 2 more left, so the class had 16-2-2=<<16-2-2=12>>12 students left.
How many students were in the class after the rally? ** There were 12*5+12=<<12*5+12=72>>72 total students in the class after the rally.
How many students were left? ** Two people had to drop the class, so there were 72-2=<<72-2=70>>70 left.
How many students were enrolled after the final rally? ** 70+6=<<70+6=76>>76 were enrolled after the final rally.
How many students are left? ** 76/2=<<76/2=38>>38 are left after half the class dropped.
How many students are left? ** 38/2=<<38/2=19>>19 are left after half the class graduated.
