Question

If 48% of the students in a certain college are female and there are 2,400 female students, how many students are male?

Answer 1

Answer:

2,600 male students

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2,400}{0.48} = 5,000$

There are 5,000 students in total.

Since 2,400 of them are female, the remaining students must be male.

5,000 - 2,400 = 2,600 male students
