Question

Of the 2740 students at a college A,3/4 of them are under 24 years of age how many students are under 25 years of age

Answer 1

We can calculate the number of students that are under 24 years of age by multiplying the proportion of students under 24 years (that is 3/4) and the total number of students:

$x=p\cdot N=\frac{3}{4}\cdot2740=\frac{8220}{4}=2055$

Answer: 2055 students are under 25 years of age.
