To find the percentage of freshmen majoring in Economics, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Economics majors}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the number of Economics majors is 4725 and the total number of students is 7500. Plugging in these numbers:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{4725}{7500} \right) \times 100
\]
Now, perform the division:
\[
\frac{4725}{7500} = 0.63
\]
Next, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:
\[
0.63 \times 100 = 63\%
\]
Therefore, the percentage of the freshman class that are Economics majors is **63%**.
