Question

54% of the students at a college are from in-state. If 4,455 students are from in-state, how many students attend the college?

Answer 1

Let x be the total number of students who attend the college; therefore, according to the question,

`\begin{gathered} 54\%*x=4455 \\ \Rightarrow0.54x=4455 \\ \Rightarrow x=(4455)/(0.54)=8250 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the answer is 8250 students.
