I need help with this question ASAP please!!!

At Lewisville University, they are looking into how often students
attend football games. Here are the results:
● 45% of students regularly attend football games
● Of those that attend football games regularly, 35% are first-year
students and 64% are upper-class students.
● Of those that do not attend football games, 25% are first-year
students and 34% are upper-class students
What is the approximate probability that a randomly selected person
will be attending the football game given they are an upper-class
student?

Answer:

60.63%

Explanation:

Prob. of students who regularly attend = 45%

Prob. of students who don't attend = 55%

Upper Class Students who attend = 64 % of 45 %

= 0.64 × 0.45 × 100 = 28.8% = 0.288

Upper Class Students who don't attend = 34 % of 55% = 0.34 × 0.55 × 100 = 18.7% = 0.187

Total for Upper Class Students = 28.8% + 18.7% = 47.5% = 0.475

Probability that an Upper Class Student randomly selected will be attending = ( 0.288 / 0.475 ) × 100 = 0.6063 × 100 = 60.63%
