Question

In a recent year 36% of all college students were enrolled part time. If 6.2 million college students were enrolled part time that year what was the total number of college students. Round to the nearest million

Answer 1

If 36% equals 6,200,000, then
1% equals 6,200,000/36, and
100% equals 6,200,000/36*100 = 16,315,789

Hence, there were about 16,000,000 (sixteen million) students.
