Question

A certain college enrolled 29,000. It was reported 54 percent were female and 46 percent were male. In addition 61 percent were over the age of 25. How many students were in each category if 30 percent of those over the age if 25 were male

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total number of students = 29000

Number of female = 54% of 29000

54/100 x 29000 = 15660 students

Number of male = 46% of 2900

46/100 x 29000= 13340 students

61% of 29000 are over 25 years

61% of 29000= 61/100 x 29000

= 17690 students

Of the pupils over the age of 25, 30% are male

30% of 17690 students are male

30/100 x 7690 =5307 students

The number of females over the age of 25 = 17690 -5307

17690 - 5307 = 12383 female students.
