During a Super Bowl day, 19 out of 50 students wear blue-colored jersey upon entering the campus. If there are 900 students present on campus that day, how many students could be expected to be wearing a blue-colored jersey? T T

\begin{gathered} (19)/(50)=(x)/(900) \\ \text{Cross multiply, we get,} \\ 50x=19*900 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} x=(19*900)/(50)\text{ =342 students} \\ \end{gathered}
