Question 1: What percent of freshmen are enrolled in an automotive college?

Question 2: What percent of all students are freshmen

Answer 1

First compute the totals.

Row totals:
- Freshmen: 15 + 15 + 30 = 60
- Sophomores: 30 + 10 + 20 = 60

Column totals:
- Fashion: 15 + 30 = 45
- Automotive: 15 + 10 = 25
- Culinary: 30 + 20 = 50

Grand total = 60 + 60 = 120

Answers:
1) Percent of freshmen in automotive = 15 / 60 = 0.25 = 25%.
2) Percent of all students who are freshmen = 60 / 120 = 0.5 = 50%.
