Answer:

67 students

Explanation:

Given

$\%Women = 55\%$

Women = 37

Required

The number of students

Let:

$n \to students$

So, we have:

$\%Women = (Women)/(n) * 100\%$

This gives:

$55\% = (37)/(n) * 100\%$

Make n the subject

$n = (37)/(55\%) * 100\%$

n = (37)/(55) * 100

n = (3700)/(55)

n = 67.27273

n = 67 ---- Approximated
