0.54b = 2619 by 0.54:

b = 4850

The total enrollment is 4850.

Answer 2

4850 students

Explanation:

if 2619 women make up 54% of the entire student body, then we know that 0.54x=2619, since 54%=0.54 and we can call x the entire student body. solve:

0.54x=2619

÷0.54 ÷0.54

x=4850

henceforth, the total enrollment is 4850 students.
