Question

What is the total number of college student round your answer to the nearest million

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data provided, 46% of all college students were enrolled part-time.

We also know that this percentage is represented by 7.8 million students. If the total number of students is given as x, then we can derive the following equation;

`Total=\begin{cases}46\text{\%=7.8m} \\ 100\text{\%=x} \\ \square\end{cases}`
`(7.8)/(46)=(x)/(100)`

Cross multiply the above equation and you'll have;

`\begin{gathered} (7.8*100)/(46)=x \\ 16.9665=x \\ \text{Rounded to the nearet million, } \\ x\approx17 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

The total number of students (rounded to the nearest million) therefore is 17 million.
