Answer:

B. 2,022

Explanation:

The student/faculty ratio tells you the total number of students in the school is ...

(15 students/teacher)×(179 teachers) = 2685 students

If 663 of those are first-year, then the number of upper-level students is ...

upper-level students = total students - first-year students

upper-level students = 2685 -663 = 2022

The total number of upper-level students is 2,022.
