Answer:
28 million college students.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are 
. Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have 
. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:
The left side of the equation evaluates as 
. Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.
For this, we need to find the area of the larger rectangle (The room) and subtract from that the area of the smaller, shaded rectangle (The rug).
A=LW (L=Length, W=Width, A=Area)
The larger rectangle first:
A=(15)(10)
A=150 feet squared
Now the Rug:
A=(12)(7)
A=84 feet squared
Now to find the area that is NOT covered by the rug, we subtract:
150-84
= 66 feet squared will NOT be covered by the rug.

I would say A. is the correct answer. Definitely a weird one. Hope this helps!
