Can someone help me with this statistics word question

Fifty part-time students were asked how many courses they were taking this term. The (incomplete) results are shown below:
 
 
# of courses                Frequency                Relative Frequency               Cumulative Relative Frequency
 
1                                        30                                    0.6
 
 
2                                        15
 
 
3
 
 
A.) Fill in the blanks
 
 
1                   30                       30/50 or 0.6                      0.6
 
2                   15                       15/50 or 0.3                      0.6+0.3 = 0.9
 
3
 
 
B.) What percent of students take exactly 2 courses?
 
C.) What percent of students take one or two courses?
 
From the information I was given I was only able to come up with the second part of the blanks I am not sure what I am supposed to put for number three since there are no numbers to begin with. And if I did it correctly then the answer for B would be 0.3 while C would be 0.9? If someone could help me that would be great.

oh okay i didnt think about adding the number to make the total 50. that thought never even crossed my mind thank you. As for the question C wouldnt it still be 0.9 being it ask what percent of students take one or two course. I assume that I dont need to worry about the third course correct?
