Question

At a large university, A total of 5,400 students are enrolled in a math class this semester. This represents 60% of the total number of students enrolled in the university. How many total students are enrolled in the university?

a.
324 students

b.
900 students

c.
9,000 students

d.
32.4 students

Answer 1

c. 9,000 students

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up the equation

• 
  `(60)/(100) x = 5400`

Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.

• 
  `(3)/(5) x = 5400`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/3.

• 
  `(5)/(3) *(3)/(5) x = (5)/(3) * 5400`
• 
  `x = (27000)/(3)`
• 
  `x = 9,000`

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 9,000 students.
