Answer:

There will be 330 7th grade students in this middle school this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year enrollment = 150 students

As the enrollment increased by 120%.

i.e.

Number of Percentage increase = 120% × 150 = 120/100 × 150

                                                       = 1.2 × 150

                                                        = 180

Thus,

Total students this year = No. of Percentage increase + Last year students

                                       = 180+150

                                        = 330 students

Therefore, there will be 330 7th grade students in this middle school this year.
