If there are 170 students in 12th grade, what percentage of the twelfth grade students have more than one college in mind? round your answer to the nearest percent

12th grade-----             1 college= 75    2 colleges= 27      3 colleges or more= 23

Answer 1

Given that 27 12th grade students have 2 colleges in mind and 23 12th grade students are considering 3 colleges or more. If there are 170 students in 12th grade, the percentage of the twelfth grade students that have more than one college in mind is given by:


`(27+23)/(170) *100\%= (50)/(170) *100\% \\ \\ =29.4\%`
