Question

In a college of exactly 2920 students, exactly 55 % are male. What is the number of female students?

Answer 1

1305 female students

Explanation:

Total no. of students = 2900

Percentage of students male = 55%

No. of students male = 55% of 2900

= 55/100*2900

= 1595

No. of female students = 2900 - 1595 = 1305

Answer 2

1314

Explanation:

First I found the number of male students

`(x)/(2920) =(55)/(100) \\\\160600=100x\\1606=x`

Then I subtracted the number of male students from the number of total students

`2920-1606=1314`
