At an university 70% of the students who attend stay on campus. if 1,380 of the students who attend live off campus, what is the total number of students who attend the university?

4600

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount who attend university using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other. Since 70% live on campus, then 30% live off campus and we are told that number is 1,380.

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

30y=100(1380)

30y=138000

y=4600.

There are 4600 students who attend the university.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
