What percent of students in the college are history majors (to the nearest tenth of a percent)?

200 students major in math
300 students major in history
400 major in english
150 major in science
175 major in other

Total number of students divided by the number of math majors?

Number of history majors divided by the total number of students

Did you get 24.5%?

Yes, that is what I got. Thank you!

Well, if we want to find the percentage of history majors, we need to divide the number of history majors by the total number of students and multiply by 100. So, we have 300 history majors out of a total of 200 + 300 + 400 + 150 + 175 = 1225 students.

300 / 1225 = 0.2449

Multiply that by 100 and we get 24.49%. But since you asked for the answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, we round it up to 24.5%.

So, approximately 24.5% of students in the college are history majors.

To find the percentage of students who are history majors, you will need to divide the number of students majoring in history by the total number of students, and then multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage.

First, calculate the total number of students by adding up the number of students in each major:
Total number of students = 200 (math) + 300 (history) + 400 (english) + 150 (science) + 175 (other)

Next, divide the number of students majoring in history by the total number of students:
Percentage of history majors = (300 / Total number of students) * 100

Finally, round the answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Please substitute the values given in the question into the appropriate places in the formula to find the final result.

Thought so, just wanted to check. Thank you.
