Attempted by 9 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
College E has 15% students with low income, so 85% are without low income.
The ratio of males to females without low income is 3:2, so males are 3/5 of the non-low-income group.
Let T be the total students. Males without low income = 0.85 * T * (3/5) = 2295.
Solving for T: 0.51T = 2295, so T = 4500.
The total number of students in College E is 4500.
