Answer:
4600
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion to find the total amount who attend university using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other. Since 70% live on campus, then 30% live off campus and we are told that number is 1,380.
We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.
30y=100(1380)
30y=138000
y=4600.
There are 4600 students who attend the university.
