Answer: There are 82.5% after school students who are enrolled in his classes.

Explanation:

Let the total number of students be 100

Percentage of students who need help in computer science = 30%

So, number of students who need help in computer science = 30

Percentage of students who need help in maths = 70%

So, number of students who need assistance in maths = 70

Of the students who need help,

40% are enrolled in Mr. Ellis's class during the school day,

So, it means 60% are enrolled in his class after the school day.

Number of students who are enrolled in his class after the school day = 60

Number of students who need help in Maths is given by


(70)/(100)* 60=42

Of the students that need help in maths, percent of students are enrolled in his class during the day = 25%

So, number of students who need help in maths and enrolled in his class after school hours


(75)/(100)* 42=31.5

Number of students who need help in computer science and enrolled in his class after school hours


(30)/(100)* 60=18

Therefore, there are
31.5+18=49.5 students who joined his class after school hours,

Percentage of the after students who are enrolled in Mr. Ellis's classes is given by


(49.5)/(60)* 100=82.5\%

Hence, there are 82.5% after school students who are enrolled in his classes.
