You are given the number of college
students which is 2860. You are also given the male percentage in that college
which is 70%. You are asked to find the number of female students. This is a
percentage problem. You need to multiply 70% or 0.70 to 2860 and you get the
number of male students. Then subtract this value to the total number of
students and you will get the number of female students.
Number of male students = 0.7 * 2860 = 2002
Number of female students = 2860 – 2002 =
858
