Percentage split - Math help

[Kerrieyarwood83]

Yes I found out how to do thanks... Stuck on another qn..

How do I work out the answer to this math qn? A survey of 'travel to college' was undertaken to determine whether extra car parking was needed. The results showed 3/8 travel by car, 1/3 travel by bus, the rest arrive on bikes and on foot. The college had 4,800 students on the day of the survey. They are expecting an 8% increase in students next year. If the percentage stays constant, how many students can they expect to travel by the different means next year? How many will use neither car nor bus? How many will use car and how many will use bus?

Where are you stuck?

There are 4800 students and they expect "an 8% increase in students next year".

What is 8% of 4800? So how many students do they expect next year?

3/8 of those students will come to college by car. So how many students is that?
