29% of a university's freshman class are majoring in Economics. If 2668 students in the freshman class are Economics majors, how many students are in the freshman class?

1 answer

If 29% of the freshman class are Economics majors, then the total number of students in the freshman class can be calculated by dividing the number of Economics majors by the percentage that they make up of the class:

Total number of students = Number of Economics majors / Percentage as a decimal
Total number of students = 2668 / 0.29
Total number of students = 9200

Therefore, there are 9200 students in the freshman class.
