To find the percentage of freshman students majoring in Computer Science, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Computer Science majors}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100
\]
In this case, the number of Computer Science majors is 4554 and the total number of students is 9900. Plugging in these values:
\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{4554}{9900} \right) \times 100
\]
Calculating the fraction:
\[
\frac{4554}{9900} \approx 0.4594
\]
Now, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
\[
0.4594 \times 100 \approx 45.94\%
\]
Therefore, approximately 45.94% of the freshman class are majoring in Computer Science.
