In a recent year, 23% of all college students were enrolled part-time. If 6.2 million college students were enrolled part-time that year, what was the total number of college students?

Answer 1

17,222,222

Step by Step Solution:

If 26% equals 6,200,000, then

1% equals 6,200,000/23, and

100% equals (6,200,000/23)*100 = 17,222,222.222222222222222222222222

Hence, there were about 17,000,000 (seventeen million) students.

To be a bit closer to the number, there where about 17,222,222 students.
