Sagot :

Using the percentage concept, it is found that the percentage of female students in the spring was of:

C. 63%

What is a percentage?

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

[tex]P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%[/tex]

During the fall semester, 58% of 323 students were female, hence:

0.58 x 323 = 187.

Then, during the spring semester, the same amount out of 298, hence:

[tex]P = \frac{187}{298} \times 100\% = 63\%[/tex]
