Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
To determine which college has the least number of students without low income, we first calculate the percentage of students without low income for each college.
Since every college has the same total number of students, the college with the lowest percentage will have the minimum count.
We subtract the given 'percentage of students with low income' from 100% for each college.
For College A, it is 100 - 35 = 65%.
For College B, it is 100 - 25 = 75%.
For College C, it is 100 - 24 = 76%.
For College D, it is 100 - 19 = 81%.
For College E, it is 100 - 15 = 85%.
Comparing these values, College A has the lowest percentage (65%) of students without low income. Therefore, among all colleges with equal total enrollment, College A has the least number of students without low income.
The gender ratios provided in the table are irrelevant to this specific question as we only need the total count comparison based on income status percentages.
