Here is what you'll do, you will do 9,860/62400, which equals to 15.8%. If your teacher wants you to round your answer to the nearest percent, then the answer would be 16%.

Hope this helps!

Number of students = 9860
Total Population = 62,400

Percentage of students in the population can be calculated by:

(Number of students/Total population) x 100%

Using the values, we get:

Percentage of students = (9860/62400) x 100% = 15.80%

Thus, students constitute 15.80% of the entire population
