Answer:

2 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two separate fractions, one representing the amount of physics majors expected and the amount of seniors expected in physics majors by the university.

\frac{400x}{66} = \frac{400}{3600}

Now cross multiply.

\frac{66*400}{400x * 3600}

x will be removed.

\frac{26400}{1320000}

Simplifying this fraction will get you \frac{1}{50}, which in percentage form, will be 2 percent.
