Suppose 72% of students chose to study French their freshman year, and that meant that there were 378 such students. How many students chose not to take French their freshman year?

Answer :

The number of students who chose not to take French their freshman year is 147.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

72% of students chose to study French their freshman year.

Now, 72% of students is equal to 378.

Let's take the number of students to be x.

So, we have:

72x/100 = 378

72x = 378*100

x = (378*100)/72

x = 525

Now, we have to find the number of students who chose not to take French their freshman year:

(100%-72%)

28%

Now, we have to find the 28% of total number of students:

(28*525)/100

14700/100

147

Hence, the number of students who chose not to take French their freshman year is 147.
