To find the portion of students who are history majors, we need to calculate the percentage of students in the history major out of the total number of students.
Total number of students = Business + Computer Sci + Science + English + History + Social Sci
Total number of students = 3600 + 1900 + 1100 + 2200 + 900 + 2300
Total number of students = 10100
Percentage of students in history major = (Number of history majors / Total number of students) * 100
Percentage of students in history major = (900 / 10100) * 100
Percentage of students in history major = 0.0891 * 100
Percentage of students in history major = 8.91%
Therefore, the portion of students who are history majors is 8.91%.
