Question

74% of a university's freshman class are majoring in Economics. If 6290 students in

the freshman class are Economics majors, how many students are in the freshman
class?

Answer 1

8500 you make two fractions set equal to eachother.. 6290/x (x is the missing number) and 74/100 (the percentage) you cross multiply the 6290 and 100 which is 629000 and divide it by the 74 which is 8500 which should be your answer
