Out of 18,560 students, 36 preferred Science over other disciplines. Mathematics attracted 144 students as their major. The rest, totaling 18,200, favored subjects other than Science.
Given data:
Total college population = 18,560 students
Number of students in Math = 144
Number of students in Science = 36
Number of students in English = 72
Number of students in French = 108
Find the total number of students who preferred subjects other than Science.
Total number of students in subjects other than Science = Number of students in Math + Number of students in English + Number of students in French
Total number of students in subjects other than Science = 144 + 72 + 108 = 324
Determine the number of students who preferred Science to other disciplines.
Number of students who preferred Science = Total college population - Total number of students in subjects other than Science
Number of students who preferred Science = 18,560 - 324 = 18,236
Therefore, 18,236 students preferred subjects other than Science, leaving 36 students who preferred Science over other disciplines.
Calculate the number of students who decided to major in Mathematics.
Number of students who decided to major in Mathematics = 144 (already given)
Therefore, based on the given information and calculations, 36 students preferred Science over other disciplines, and 144 students decided to major in Mathematics.
