To calculate the number of students who took the course this year, you can start with the number of students last year and calculate the increase based on the given percentage.
1. Calculate the increase in the number of students:
\[
\text{Increase} = 950 \times \frac{12}{100} = 950 \times 0.12 = 114
\]
2. Add the increase to the original number of students:
\[
\text{Number of students this year} = 950 + 114 = 1064
\]
Thus, the number of students who took the course this year is **1064**.
