Question

In a recent year, 29% of all college students were enrolled part-time. If 7.7 million college students were enrolled part-time that year, what was the total number of college students?

Round your answer to the nearest million.

Answer 1

27 million.

Explanation:

29/100*x = 7700000

100 * 29/100 * x = 7700000 * 100

29x=770000000

29x/29 = 770000000/29

x = 26551724.13793

x ~= 27 million.
