Question

In a college of exactly 2920 students, exactly 55 % are male. What is the number of female students?

Answer 1

Answer:

1305 female students

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of students = 2900

Percentage of students male = 55%

No. of students male = 55% of 2900

                                 = 55/100*2900

                                 = 1595

No. of female students = 2900 - 1595 = 1305

Answer 2

Answer:

1314

Step-by-step explanation:

First I found the number of male students

$\frac{x}{2920} =\frac{55}{100} \\\\160600=100x\\1606=x$

Then I subtracted the number of male students from the number of total students

$2920-1606=1314$
