Question

A college has space for 580 students. The college estimates that 65% of the students who are admitted will attend the college. How many students should be admitted?

Answer 1

The number of students whom should be admitted is 377.

Explanation:

Given:

College has space for 580 students.

The college estimates that 65% of the students who are admitted will attend the college.

Now, to find the number of students whom should be admitted.

Space for total number of students = 580.

Percentage of the students who are admitted = 65%.

Total number of students whom should be admitted = 65% of 580.

`=(65)/(100)* 580`

`=(37700)/(100)`

`=377.`

Therefore, the number of students whom should be admitted is 377.
