Question

Of the 12,360 freshmen entering County College, 2000 are enrolled in prealgebra. Find the percent of entering freshmen who are enrolled in prealgebra. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

The 16.2% of entering freshmen are enrolled in prealgebra.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of students enrolled in prealgebra, we need to divide the number of students enrolled in prealgebra by the total number of freshmen and then multiply by 100. In this case, there are 2000 students enrolled in prealgebra out of 12,360 freshmen.

So, the percent of entering freshmen who are enrolled in prealgebra is:

Percent = (2000/12360) * 100 = 16.18%

Therefore, about 16.2% of entering freshmen are enrolled in prealgebra.
