Number of student/Number of faculty=11/1

S/F=11/1

1790/F=11
F=163


# of students enrolled 1790
tuition per student $3,700
total income recvd from tuition alone $6,623,000

total faculty salaries $4,629,200

Now, we find the what percentage of the total tuition income does the total faculty salary comprise
$4,629,200*100/$6,623,000=69.89≈70%

70% of the total tuition income is used to pay the total salary of all the faculty members put together. This would also be the same percentage contribution of each students tuition fee towards the faculty salary.

tuition per student $3,700
3700*70/100=$2590≈2600 hence D

There are many ways to solve this.
Method 1.
Amount paid to faculty salaries / number of students.
As we need the approximate amount and also the answer options are quiet dispersed we can divide the total amount by 1800= 4629200/ 1800 = approximately 2550 ~ 2600.
Hence, answer is d.
