74% of a university's freshman class are majoring in Economics. If 6290 students in
the freshman class are Economics majors, how many students are in the freshman
class?
8500 you make two fractions set equal to eachother.. 6290/x (x is the missing number) and 74/100 (the percentage) you cross multiply the 6290 and 100 which is 629000 and divide it by the 74 which is 8500 which should be your answer
