What is the total number of students in the class?

Question

a. A statistics class is made up of 19 men and 24 women. What percentage of the class is male?

b. A different class has 259 students, and 49% of them are men. How many men are in the class?

C. A different class is made up of 68% women and has 19 women in it. What is the total number of students in the class?

Answer 1

19/(19+24) = 19/43 = about 44.19% male

49% times 259 = 127 for closest integer

19/T = .68

T = 19/.68 = 28 total students
