Answer:

c. 9,000 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up the equation

  • [tex]\frac{60}{100} x = 5400[/tex]

Step 2:  Simplify both sides of the equation.

  • [tex]\frac{3}{5} x = 5400[/tex]

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/3.

  • [tex]\frac{5}{3} *\frac{3}{5} x = \frac{5}{3} * 5400[/tex]
  • [tex]x = \frac{27000}{3}[/tex]
  • [tex]x = 9,000[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 9,000 students.
