Question

In a recent year 37% of all college students were enrolled part time.if 5.9 millions college students were enrolled part time that year what was the total number of colleges students?

Answer 1

We know that 37% of all college students were enrolled part time. If 5.9 millions college students were enrolled part time that year, we can use this information to find the total number of college students.

We know that the part-time enrollment percentage is represented by the ratio:

part-time students / total students = 37%

We can set up the equation:

5.9 million / x = 37/100

Where x represents the total number of students

To find the total number of students, we can cross-multiply and divide:

5.9 million * 100 = 37 * x

x = 5.9 million * 100 / 37

The total number of college students that year was:

x = 16,081,081

So the total number of college students that year was 16,081,081
