Question

6 out of every 20 people in the U.S. who were over the age of 25 had completed four years or more of college. If a community has 1860 residents over the age of 25 with four or more years of college, how many residents over the age of 25 live there?

Answer 1

6/20=x/100
20x=600
X=30%

X/1860=30/100
X=558 people over the age of 25 live there
Or
1860/20 =93(6)=558 people over the age of 25 live there
