In a college of exactly 3000 students, exactly 55 % are male. What is the number of female students?
(1 - 0.55) * 300 = ____
Well if 45% are female then:
0.45 * (3000) = ?
To find the number of female students in a college of 3000 students, given that 55% are male, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the number of male students by multiplying the total number of students by the percentage of male students:
Number of male students = (55/100) * 3000 = 1650
2. Subtract the number of male students from the total number of students to find the number of female students:
Number of female students = Total number of students - Number of male students
= 3000 - 1650
= 1350
Therefore, there are 1,350 female students in the college.
