If 2/5 of the students at College C are business majors, what is the number of female students at College C?
1) 2/5 of the male students at College C are business majors.
2) 200 of the female students at College C are business majors.
OA: C
Would anyone please explain?
I answer B because I thought that:
From the info:
2/5 * (total) = business major
total = M + F
2/5 * (M + F) = business major
2/5*M + 2/5*F = business major
1) 2/5*M are business major (I thought we already know that from the information given)
2) 2/5*F = 200 so F = 500
That's why I thought statement 2 alone is sufficient....would anyone please explain at which point I was wrong???
Appreciate all the help!
