Question

A university's freshman class has 5000 students. 90% of those

students are majoring in Economics. How many students in the
freshman class are Economics majors?

Answer 1

4,500

Explanation:

To find the number of students majoring in economics, you must turn 90% into a decimal making it .9.

Then you multiply the decimal to how many students there are (5000x.9) and that gives you 4,500.
