Question

Based on the latest census there are 9860 students in a population of 62400 people. What percent of the total population is students?

Answer 1

Answer: 15.80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total population=62400

The total number of students=9860

To find the percent of the total population is students, we need to divide total population by total number of students and then multiply with 100, we get

The percent of the total population is students=$\frac{9860}{62400}\times100$

$=\frac{9860}{624}\\=15.80\%$

Hence, the percent of the total population is students is 15.80%.
