Hi

Please help me with this question....

Of a certain high school graduating class, 75 percent of the students continued their formal education, and 80 percent of those who continued their formal education went to four-year colleges. If 300 students in the class went to four-year colleges, how many students were in the graduating class?
(A) 500
(B) 375
(C) 240
(D) 225
(E) 180

Thanks
Lavanya

Let total students in the graduating class be x. .75 x continue with their formal education...
.75x * .80 = .6x go to 4-yr college
.6x = 300
x = 300/.6 = 500
