Given that s represents the number of students enrolled in maths honors, a 12% increase in the number of students implies that
[tex]\frac{12}{100}\times s=0.12s\text{ }[/tex]
This means that the number of students increased by 0.12s.
Thus, the total number of students enrolled in honors math will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{initial number of students + additional number of student} \\ \text{thus, we have} \\ s+0.12s=1.12s \end{gathered}[/tex]
Thus, 1.12s represents the expression for the total number of students
