Answer 1

360 students signed up for intramurals

From the question, we are told that 60% of the students signed up for intramurals

What this mean that 60% of the 600 signed up for intramurals

Mathematically, that will be;

`\begin{gathered} 60\text{ percent of 600} \\ \\ =\text{ }(60)/(100)\text{ }*\text{ 600 = 360} \end{gathered}`
