Question

Southeastern Oklahoma State​ University's business program has the facilities and faculty to handle an enrollment of 2 comma 100 new students per semester.​ However, in an effort to limit class sizes to a​ "reasonable" level​ (under 200,​ generally), Southeastern's​ dean, Holly​ Lutze, placed a ceiling on enrollment of 1 comma 800 new students. Although there was ample demand for business courses last​ semester, conflicting schedules allowed only 1 comma 450 new students to take business courses.

The utilization rate for Southeastern​ = nothing​% ​(enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal​ place).

Answer 1

The utilization rate for Southeastern = 68.6%

Explanation:

The utilization rate is the number of students taking the course divided by the highest enrollment possible.

In this problem, we have that:

1450 students taking the course.

Capacity to handle an enrollment of 2100 students

Utilization rate

1450/2100 = 0.686

The utilization rate for Southeastern = 68.6%
